[visionlist] Postdoctoral position in Systems Neuroscience and Two-photon Scanning Microscopy

[Ralph Mitchell Siegel]

A full-time postdoctoral position is to work on a collaborative project at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience with Dr. Ralph Siegel at Rutgers University. The goal of the project is to use voltage scanning imaging and two-photon scanning microscopy to understand high-level visual processing and its modulation by spatial attention.  The inferior parietal lobule, in particular area 7a and DP, are studied for constancy and variability.   

The ideal candidate would have a strong background in neuroscience and experience in neurophysiological/optical recording techniques. Completion of the PhD degree in neuroscience, physics, or a related field is required before the start date. The initial appointment will be for 1 year, and is renewable. The starting date can be as early as September , 2009.  

The applicant must have a US Citizenship or a Green Card for this particular application.

Rutgers University offers a highly collaborative first-class training and research 
environment in computational and systems neuroscience.
