Dear CVNET:
Below is a postdoc opening I'd like to advertise on your network. Please
let me know if you need further information.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Subject: Postdoctoral Position
Organization: Harvard Medical School
A postdoctoral position is open in a laboratory focused on the
microcircuitry of the retina. Our approaches have their roots in cell
biology: we use techniques of cellular and molecular neurobiology to
create markers that define cell populations for further study. One
branch of our work uses such technologies for anatomical studies. A
second is focused on the role of individual elements within the retinaís
circuitry in creating the final responses of the ganglion cells. For
this, we often use visually-guided extracellular or intracellular
recording, a collection of methods first developed in this lab. We are
particularly interested in the mechanism of direction selectivity in
retinal ganglion cells. We think this problem is near its solution; join
us and see it to the end.
For more about our lab see our website at

Our laboratory is supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, an
equal opportunity employer.
