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

[Ralph Mitchell Siegel]

A full-time predoctoral and/or 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 postdoctoral 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  January, 2010.  

The predoctoral fellowship starts lower.

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

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

To apply, please send a cv, brief statement of research interests by email to axon at cortex.rutgers.edu. Please also arrange for two to three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same address.
