CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
2 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Neuroscience
Applications are invited for 2 postdoctoral research positions, available immediately, to join a collaborative research program between the laboratories of Partha Mitra at Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill, New Jersey) and Prof. R. Andersen at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, California). The research project will examine the temporal correlation structure of activity within and between local and distant cortical areas in
parietal and frontal areas during cognitive tasks, involving memory and planning of eye and arm movements. Multi-site recordings of single cell activity and local field potentials will be made in behaving monkeys and the data analyzed using modern statistical methods for stochastic processes and machine learning techniques. The experimentalist will be located at Caltech, and the theorist at Bell Labs. The goal of the research is to elucidate the underlying functional architecture and multi-site dynamics of neural activity in local and long-range circuits involved in working memory.
Theorist Position #400 - The successful candidate should have training in an analytical subject, preferably in theoretical physics, as well as computational experience and/or experience with statistical analysis. The candidate should be motivated to work in understanding neural systems. The position offers an opportunity to work closely with an experiment, and will be part of a strong multidisciplinary team in a rich research environment.
Experimentalist Position #500 - The successful candidate should have training in electrical engineering or experimental physics either at the Bachelor's or Ph.D. level or substantial background with electrical hardware and computer programming. Experience working in a neuroscience laboratory using electrophysiological recording is desirable. The position offers the opportunity to interact directly with theorists and will provide a rich opportunity for multidisciplinary study of the nervous system.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae and two letters of recommendation. This material should be sent to Ms. Cierina R. Marks, California Institute of Technology, MC 216-76, 1201 E. California Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91125. Please indicate the position number that you are applying for. Caltech is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities, veterans, and disabled persons are encouraged to apply.
