Postdoctoral Position in Visual Cortical Neurophysiology - CNRS Paris

I am looking for an experimental postdoc for a project aimed at 
characterizing the functional impact of membrane channels and synaptic 
dynamics in visual cortical neurophysiology (see lab website at 
www.neurophys.biomedicale.univ-paris5.fr/~graham). This person will focus on 
in-vivo whole cell patch recordings in the cat and rat, including the 
development of several novel protocols and methods. The work will be closely 
allied with the analysis of the stochastic component of evoked and 
background activity from intracellular recordings, and of 
biophysically-detailed models of cortical neurons and networks. The contract 
will be initially for one year, with possible extension to a total of three 
years, and can start as early as November 2006. Experience required in 
either computational neuroscience, electrical engineering, applied physics, 
or electrophysiology. Interested candidates may send their c.v. and two 
letters of recommendation to lyle at biomedicale.univ-paris5.fr or to this mail
