UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER MEDICAL CENTER and CENTER FOR VISUAL SCIENCE,
ROCHESTER, NY
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
Adult plasticity after localized extrastriate visual lesions
A three-year post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory
of Dr. B. Merigan to study the time course of neuronal and perceptual
changes after small extrastriate lesions due to stroke. fMRI will be
used to study the location, extent and stimulus specificity of the
lesion effects. Perfusion and diffusion MR will be used to estimate
vascular effects that could contribute to changes in the fMRI signal.
Visual testing will be used to relate the retinotopy and nature of
perceptual effects to the time course of the imaging changes.
The fellow will be working in a multidisciplinary environment
including the group of Dr. Jianhui Zhong (MR physics), of Dr. Daphne
Bavelier (developmental plasticity - psychophysics and fMRI) and of
Dr. William Merigan (Neuropsychology in human and primates - adult
plasticity).
Preference will be given to candidates who have UNIX and programming
(matlab and/or C++) experience, as well as experience with MR imaging.
Facilities include 2-1.5 SIGNA imaging systems, Unix and SGI
computers for data analysis (flattening, registration), and fully
equipped facilities for testing visual function while monitoring
fixation location.
The Center for Visual Science is an active environment for research
in visual physiology and perception and in imaging methods
(http://www.cvs.rochester.edu).
Candidates should send a cover letter which describe their research
experience, a curriculum vitae, reprints of published work, and the
names and e-mail address of three references.
