POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AT UC SAN FRANCISCO: PHYSIOLOGIST FOR TETRODE
RECORDINGS IN CAT V1
I have a position funded on an NIH grant for a neurophysiologist to
study functional connectivity in cat V1 using our tetrode recording
system. Tetrode recording allows simultaneous isolation of 3-9 cells
at single sites in V1. We are equipped to record simultaneously from
multiple tetrodes. The major goals of our studies are (1) to
functionally characterize the simultaneously recorded cells and (2) to
characterize the connectivity among them through cross-correlation
analysis. To simultaneously functionally characterize multiple cells,
we are using naturalistic noise stimuli and developing methods of
analysis that allow characterization of complex as well as simple
cells. To analyze connectivity, we may use chemical excitation of
cells as well as visual stimulation. Cell layers will be determined
by post-recording histology. Our lab combines modeling of the
circuitry underlying functional responses with the experimental work,
and many other questions that arise from our modeling studies as well
as from your own interests may be addressed.
We have superb software and support staff (for details click on
'tetrode recording' on my home page, www.keck.ucsf.edu/~ken). The
candidate should be an experienced neurophysiologist; strong
quantitative and/or computational skills will be very helpful.
Send a cv, a description of past research and research interests, and
arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent to:
