SECOND POSTING: Interested candidates who will be attending the Society
for Neuroscience meeting are encouraged to contact Dr. DeAngelis and
arrange a time to meet in Miami.
POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE:
Visual Neurophysiology in Awake, Trained Primates
Postdoctoral positions are available to study neural
mechanisms of visual perception at Washington University School of
Medicine. Experimental approaches involve single- and multiple-unit
recordings from rhesus monkeys trained to perform visual discrimination
tasks. Electrical microstimulation and reversible inactivation techniques
are also used to establish causal links between neural activity and
behavior. Current research focuses on neural mechanisms of stereoscopic
depth perception, as well as mechanisms of visual feature integration.
For more details, see http://cabernet.wustl.edu. The laboratory is housed
in a state-of-the-art facility that includes several other primate labs
working in systems and behavioral neuroscience. The successful applicant
will join a dynamic research community at Washington University with
strengths in all areas of neuroscience.
Experience in cortical electrophysiology and/or visual
psychophysics is preferred, but not essential. Candidates with a strong
background in other experimental or computational areas will also be
considered. To apply, please send a curriculum vitae and the names of
three references to:
