RESEARCH SCIENTIST -- ALERT MONKEY VISUAL PHYSIOLOGY

        A research scientist position is available in the laboratory of
Professor Max Snodderly at the University of Texas at Austin to study
response properties of neurons in the early visual pathway (LGN, V1, V2) of
alert, behaving monkeys.  Projects include basic receptive field properties,
effects of eye movements, and responses to natural images.  Facilities
include an eye-movement-contingent display for high-speed stabilization and
modification of images (200 Hz) and a Plexon multi-electrode setup for
chronic recording from implanted electrodes.  Candidates are expected to
have completed a postdoc in a relevant field and to have the practical and
intellectual skills to share responsibility for all aspects of the research,
from trouble-shooting uncooperative equipment, to designing and executing
experiments, to writing up results for publication.  Salary will be
approximately $65,000 per year.  

            The broader neuroscience community at UT includes outstanding
faculty from multiple departments, offering many opportunities for
interdisciplinary collaboration: The Institute for Neuroscience (
<http://www.utexas.edu/neuroscience/index.html>
http://www.utexas.edu/neuroscience/), and the Center for Perceptual Systems
( <http://www.cps.utexas.edu/> http://www.cps.utexas.edu).  The University
offers a particularly friendly and collaborative environment, and Austin is
a fun city with lots of cultural and outdoor activities.

            Potential applicants can contact me by email, with a curriculum
vitae and a statement of research interests, and I will be available for
interviews at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington.
