    Hi Hoover,
    - this is the plain text version.
    Thanks,
    Nicholas Swindale

    POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY.
    Department of Ophthalmology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver

    A position is available to do research using optical recording and silicon
    multi-site recording probes (see
    http://www.biomednet.com/biomednews/1999/SFN/day2/story_2.html) to study
    receptive field organization and topography in cat visual cortex.
    Applicants should have experience in visual neuroscience and strong
    programming skills (ideally Delphi or Visual C++ in a Windows environment).

    The Department of Ophthalmology at UBC has a strong basic science research
    group encompassing a wide range of areas in visual neuroscience, including
    fMRI, visual psychophysics, electrophysiology, computational neuroscience,
    neuroanatomy and molecular genetics. The recent formation of a Brain
    Research Centre at UBC promises to add further to the University's
    strengths in neuroscience. Vancouver
    (http://www.vancouver.about.com/citiestowns/vancouver/library/weekly/aa05229
    9.htm) is consistently rated one of the best cities of the world in which
    to live. It is close to one of the best ski resorts in North America
    (Whistler) and there are opportunities for hiking, mountaineering,
    windsurfing, sailing, kayaking and other outdoor activities. The city
    boasts wonderful modern architecture, two symphony orchestras, a world
    class opera company, ethnically diverse restaurants of outstanding quality
    and much more.

    Informal enquiries and/or applications (statement of research interests,
    sample publications and names and addresses of three referees) can be sent to:
