[visionlist] Postdoctoral position in sensory neuroscience- Monash University, Melbourne, Australia

[mrosa]

A postdoctoral position is available for start in January 2006 in the 
laboratory of Dr. Marcello Rosa, at Monash University. The position is 
funded for 3 years (subject to yearly renewal based on performance 
appraisal), but we will consider applicants interested in shorter-term 
appointments, who may be wanting to visit the laboratory only for the 
duration of a specific project. Monash University is located in 
Melbourne, ranked for several years in a row "the World's most liveable 
city". This is a great opportunity to experience the Australian 
lifestyle, while working in the company of an energetic team.

The laboratory's research program includes investigations on the 
anatomy and physiology of the cerebral cortex, with focus on the visual 
and auditory systems of the marmoset monkey.  Over the next few years 
we will be particularly interested in exploring the cortical network 
responsible for peripheral vision, including extrastriate areas on the 
midline surface. Hence, applicants with experience in neuroanatomical 
tracing (particularly iontophoretic injections), single-unit recordings 
(particularly multichannel), behaving preparations, animal 
psychophysics, intracellular recording/ cell filling or architectural 
analyses are all welcome to apply. The person selected for the job will 
be encourage do develop their personal research interests in parallel 
with the laboratory's main lines of investigation.

The appointment is available at the NHMRC Research Officer level, which 
is suitable for an early-career postdoctoral individual, and includes 
generous employer-funded superannuation. Upgrade to more senior levels 
may be negotiated, depending on the applicant's experience.
