[visionlist] please post: postdoctoral position available

[Jonathan D. Victor]

A postdoctoral position (2+ years) in visual neurophysiology is available 
in the laboratory of Jonathan Victor in the Division of Systems Neurology 
and Neuroscience, Department of Neurology and Neuroscience, at the Weill 
Cornell Medical College (in New York City), to join ongoing research 
directed at understanding neural coding in visual cortex.  Experimental 
platforms include both anesthetized and awake/behaving preparations.

The ideal candidate will have experience in neurophysiologic recording in 
visual cortex of primates and quantitative neurophysiologic data analysis, 
good mathematical intuition, a record indicating the potential to develop 
independent research, and the desire to do so.  Specific technical skills 
relevant to the project include tetrode recording, spike sorting, 
histology, and programming in Matlab.

The laboratory group includes Keith Purpura, Nicholas Schiff, Ferenc 
Mechler, and Anita Schmid.  The fellow will have the opportunity to 
interact with other faculty within the Departments of Neurology and 
Neuroscience, and Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology with related 
interests (including Sheila Nirenberg, Emre Aksay, and Dan Gardner), and 
with students. New York City is home to a number of major laboratories 
spread over several universities engaged in systems neuroscience research, 
and there is ample opportunity for interaction with large and diverse 
communities in vision research and computational biology.

Information on housing and other matters of interest to postdoctoral 
fellows is available at

The interested candidate should send a CV and letter of intent indicating 
research interests, skills in relevant areas, availability, and salary 
requirements via email to 
<mailto:jdvicto at med.cornell.edu>jdvicto at med.cornell.edu.  Up to three 
letters of recommendation should be sent via email or post to Jonathan 
Victor at Weill Medical College, 1300 York Avenue, New York City, NY 10065 
USA.
