The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Laboratory of Brain  
and Cognition, Unit on Learning and Plasticity (http:// 
lbc.nimh.nih.gov/) is seeking two postdoctoral fellows.  Research in  
the lab focuses on studying learning, plasticity and visual cognition  
primarily with fMRI. Current interests include investigating how the  
visual representation of objects changes with experience and how  
cortical visual processing is affected by loss of peripheral input  
(e.g. in individuals with macular degeneration).  The positions are  
available October 2006.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree and a maximum of five years of  
experience.  A strong background in neuroscience, psychology,  
cognitive science or related disciplines is required.  Previous  
experience with fMRI, statistical methods and/or programming is  
helpful, but not essential.

Health and the Department of Health and Human Services, which have  
nationwide responsibility for improving the health and well being of  
all Americans.  Interested applicants should send curriculum vitae,
