[visionlist] Postdoctoral Fellowship available at U Penn

[Russell Epstein]

Cognitive Neuroscience of Visual Scene Perception and Spatial Navigation
Epstein Lab, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Pennsylvania

A NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship is available in Dr. Russell
Epstein’s cognitive neuroscience laboratory at the University of
Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA, USA).  The successful applicant will
use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the
neural underpinnings of visual scene perception, place recognition,
and spatial navigation. Previous experience with advanced fMRI data
analysis techniques such as multi-voxel pattern analysis is a plus,
although applicants who lack such experience but have excellent
computational, analytical, or statistical skills will be considered.
A Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science or related
field is required, as is a well-established record of research
productivity. The University of Pennsylvania has a large and diverse
cognitive neuroscience community, including a 3T magnet and extensive
resources for fMRI research.  The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience is
a lively, friendly, collaborative environment.

To apply, send CV, a brief statement of research experience/interests,
and contact information for three references to Russell Epstein,
epstein at psych.upenn.edu.  The University of Pennsylvania is an Equal
Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
