[visionlist] Postdoctoral positions in visual neuroscience

[Berson, David]

Brown University  -  Postdoctoral Positions in Visual Neuroscience

 

Openings are available immediately at Brown University for postdoctoral
training in visual neuroscience and other areas within the brain
sciences.  Support for these positions comes from an interdepartmental
postdoctoral training grant from the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH). 

 

Eligibility is restricted to US citizens and permanent residents with no
more than two years of prior postdoctoral support from federally funded
postdoctoral training grants or individual fellowships.  Priority will
be given to candidates with little or no previous postdoctoral training.


 

Brown University is a vibrant and exciting environment for postdoctoral
study in vision. The newly established Center for Vision Research
(http://www.vision.brown.edu/ ) brings together a collegial and highly
interactive group of world-class interdisciplinary laboratories.
Together, these cover the spectrum of cutting-edge approaches to vision,
from molecular and cellular neurobiology through systems to cognitive,
computational and clinical neuroscience.  Other areas covered by the
training grant include neural development and plasticity, voluntary
movement, synaptic physiology, sensory systems, theoretical neuroscience
and learning and memory.  Most trainers have laboratory space in a
stunning new building
http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/Building_Brown/projects/sciences/ .  For
further information on the postdoctoral training program, visit

Interested students should send a letter, curriculum vitae, and at least
three letters of recommendation to:
