[visionlist] Postdoc - Kastner lab/Princeton

[Sabine Kastner]

POSTDOC IN THE KASTNER LAB AT PRINCETON

A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the  
Neuroscience of Attention & Perception Laboratory, led by Dr. Sabine  
Kastner in the Department of Psychology and Princeton Neuroscience  
Institute at Princeton University. This is a full-time, 1 year  
position with possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance.

The lab uses a variety of methods (fMRI and DTI in human and non-human  
primates, psychophysics, TMS, non-human primate electrophysiology) to  
study attention at various levels of processing from subcortical  
structures (LGN, pulvinar) to higher-order cortex (fronto-parietal  
areas). The postdoctoral researcher will work on fMRI studies of  
normal human subjects, focusing on attention effects of thalamic  
nuclei. In addition to this line of research, the postdoctoral  
researcher will be given the opportunity to participate in other lab  
research endeavors, and they will be expected to make a strong  
contribution to the lab's overall research efforts.

Essential qualifications for this position include: a Ph.D. in  
Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or other closely related  
field; strong background in fMRI and strong quantitative skills using  
Matlab. Candidates must pass a standard MR safety screening in order  
to work in the MR environment.

To apply for this position, please submit a cover letter, C.V.,  
research statement and contact information for three references to http://jobs.princeton.edu
