[visionlist] neurophysiology post-docs in Doug Crawford's lab

[Doug Crawford]

Funding is available for post-doctoral fellows to work on the 
neurophysiology of 3-D gaze in alert behaving monkeys, in Doug 
Crawford’s lab at the Centre for Vision Research, York University, 
Toronto, Canada.

Details:

Projects: Single and multi-unit recordings in the superior colliculus, 
frontal eye fields, supplementary eye fields, and lateral intraparietal 
cortex. Spatial reference frames and transformations, spatial remapping, 
cognitive aspects of eye-head coordination, and dorsal-ventral stream 
interactions. Some of these projects will involve 3-D recordings of eye 
and head rotation, followed by a 3-D analysis of spatial frames, etc.

Starting date: flexible, from Fall 2007 onwards.

Term: 2-4 years, as required.

Compensation: CIHR Fellow levels or better

Qualifications: PhD or equivalent in the neuroscience of spatial vision 
and/or movement control. Preference will be given to candidates with 
experience in awake-animal electrophysiology and with a strong 
quantitative background.

To apply: please e-mail a cover letter, CV, and contacts for 3 referees 
to: jdc at yorku.ca

If you join our lab, you’ll work as part of a large inter-disciplinary 
team with considerable technical support. For further information on the 
lab, see http://www.yorku.ca/jdc

The York Centre for Vision Research (CVR) is a large research group (>25 
faculty) with research interests that include modeling, psychophysics, 
neurophysiology, brain imaging, clinical studies, and computer vision. 
CVR has its own seminar series and conferences. See: 
http://www.cvr.yorku.ca

Toronto is a big (>5 million) multicultural city with many attractions. 
It’s a great place to spend a few years, and so far all of our post-docs 
have obtained faculty positions.

Highly qualified and serious candidates will be brought to York 
(expenses paid) for an interview and seminar on their work. If you are 
well qualified but you’re not sure about your plans right now, write me 
anyway. An informal meeting can be arranged, for example at the SFN 
meeting.
