[visionlist] Post-doctoral position available at Mount Sinai Medical School, NYC

[EK]

A post-doctoral position is available immediately at the Mount Sinai 
School of Medicine in
NY City (neuroscience department).
The research in Ehud Kaplan's lab focuses on the mammalian visual 
system, and involves
optical imaging of the cortex, electrophysiology recordings and  
computational modeling.
The issues addressed include:

   * The representation of visual information in the visual cortex
   * The transmission of information from the retina through the
     lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) to the visual cortex
   * The role of the descending pathways in the brain.

The candidate will have an opportunity to interact closely with both 
neurophysiologists and applied mathematicians.
Familiarity with computer programming  and some applied mathematics is a 
distinct advantage. Other members of our group include Bruce Knight, 
Larry Sirovich, Youping Xiao, Alex Casti and Fernand Hayot.
