Postdoctoral Position

The Neural Representation of Objects

Brown University

Applications are being sought for an NIH funded post-doctoral position  
for research investigating the neural representation of objects in the  
laboratory of Prof. Michael Tarr, Department of Cognitive and  
Linguistic Sciences, Brown University. The position would be for one  
year with the possibility of a one- or two-year extension. The  
successful applicant will work on a newly-funded NIH EUREKA project  
using real-time fMRI to explore the coding of intermediate features/ 
parts in human ventral-temporal cortex. Ideally, beyond competence in  
visual cognitive neuroscience or visual neuroscience, competitive  
candidates should have some computational experience, including  
familiarity with machine learning methods, as well as at least some  
knowledge of or in interest in fMRI. The position is available  
immediately, but the starting date is flexible. Salary will be  
determined by previous experience and areas of expertise.

To apply, send a brief statement of interest, a CV, a URL referencing  
a publications webpage, and three references by email to: <mtarr at brown.edu 
 > or else by mail to: Box 1978, CLS – Brown University, Providence,  
RI 02912.

Information about the lab, about Brown’s diverse vision community,
