[visionlist] Post-doctoral position in Monash University, Melbourne, Australia

[mrosa]

We are seeking expressions of interest in a postdoctoral position 
funded by the Australian Research Council, in a project involving 
single-unit recordings in the primate visual cortex. The project, led 
by Profs. Marcello Rosa and Bogdan Dreher, involves inactivation of the 
middle temporal area in marmosets, and its effects on the response 
properties of other visual areas. The position is available for 3 
years, subject to yearly performance appraisal. Monash University is 
located in Melbourne, consistently voted as one of the World's most 
livable cities, and the site of a vibrant community of neuroscientists.

The position is suitable for those about to complete, or who have just 
completed, a PhD. However, more experienced candidates will also be 
considered, and salary conditions negotiated accordingly. The ideal 
candidate will have some experience in sensory neurophysiology. 
Knowledge of quantitative methods, and some basic experience using 
MatLab, would also be an advantage. However, we will also consider 
candidates with other backgrounds, and offer on-site training, with the 
key criterion being a good record of early career achievement.

Ideally the candidate should be in a position to start employment in 
early 2008. However, there is some flexibility to take into account 
individual circumstances.
