[visionlist] Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Visual Neuroscience

[Jay Hegdé]

_Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Visual Neuroscience_

The laboratory of Jay Hegdé at the Georgia Health Sciences University 
(GHSU) has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher.

We study the neural mechanisms of visual perception as statistical 
(Bayesian) inference.We use a variety of research methods, including 
microelectrode recordings in awake, behaving monkeys, fMRI in humans, 
human/monkey psychophysics and computational modeling.Strongly 
motivated, self-driven individuals with prior experience in at least one 
of these fields and the desire to gain expertise in one or more of the 
others are encouraged to apply.Candidates with prior experience in 
monkey neurophysiology are preferred.

The laboratory is one of several highly collegial and interactive groups 
at the Brain and Behavior Discovery Institute at GHSU.The Institute is 
an exciting new center for systems neuroscience, with plans for rapid 
expansion in the immediate future.GHSU has strong research programs in 
other neuroscientific disciplines, including molecular, cellular and 
developmental neuroscience, and a variety of related clinical 
disciplines. Opportunities for research collaborations also exist at the 
adjacent VA Hospital.

Augusta, the second largest city in Georgia, is renowned worldwide for 
its annual Masters golf tournament.Known as the 'Garden City', Augusta 
features picturesque neighborhoods, low cost of living, and plenty of 
cultural and recreational opportunities.Larger metropolitan areas such 
as Atlanta and Columbia, SC are nearby, as are many scenic destinations, 
including the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic coast.

To apply, please send (i) a cover letter describing research 
accomplishments and interests, and (ii) a curriculum vitae to the 
address below, preferably as email attachments.For informal inquiries, 
or to set up an appointment at the upcoming Vision Sciences Society 
meeting, please send an email.

GHSU is an AA/EEO/Equal Access/ADA Employer.
