[visionlist] POSTDOCTORAL POSITION: Neural and computational mechanisms of decision making

[Jochen Ditterich]

Postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jochen
Ditterich at the Center for Neuroscience, University of California,
Davis, for studying the neural and computational mechanisms of decision
making.

The successful candidate will be responsible for performing experiments
involving extracellular cortical recordings from behaving animals and
for analyzing the obtained behavioral and neurophysiological data. The
candidate will further be involved in the presentation and publication
of the results. The candidate should also have an interest in
computational neuroscience since the development of mathematical models
is an integrative aspect of the laboratory’s work.

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience or a related discipline
and be proficient in spoken and written English. Prior experience in
systems neuroscience research, in particular in vivo extracellular
recordings, and some programming experience (MATLAB and C) would be
valuable.

Please send application with CV, publication list, contact information
of three references, and statement of interests to jditterich at ucdavis.edu.

The position requires a background check.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of
diversity among its faculty and staff.
