[visionlist] PhD in Visual Neurosciences

[Casanova Christian]

A graduate student position (PhD)  is offered for the investigation of the visual function by optical brain imaging which allows one to visualize neural activity on-line and study the functioning of the brain in normal and physiopathological conditions. A scholarship will be provided for three years. The laboratory is located at the School of Optometry at the Université de Montreal. The vision research group of the School comprises researchers in complementary fields (e.g., psychophysics, brain imaging, neuroanatomy). Visit the lab web site at: http://www.opto.umontreal.ca/neurosciences/. The general aim of the project is to determine the impact of the extrageniculate thalamus on the visual cortex of tree shrews by optical brain imaging. Priority will be given to those with a good academic (and publication) track record and with a MSc (or equivalent) in visual neuroscience and/or imaging (engineering) or in related neuroscience areas. Skills in programming and image analysis will be a plus. Candidates should have a interest in visual neurosciences, be motivated, hard-working, autonomous, and be able to write articles in English. Please provide the following: (1) Letter of motivation; (2) CV including publication list; (3) Academic records and diplomas; (4) Two letters of recommendation from persons in authority (e.g., professors), including the MSc supervisor. These letters should be e-mailed directly by these persons. The candidate should e-mail the remaining parts of the application (1 to 3) to: christian.casanova at umontreal.ca. <mailto:christian.casanova at umontreal.ca>
