[visionlist] Postdoctoral Position in Visual Neuroscience at the University of Rochester

[Tatiana Pasternak]

*Postdoctoral Position in Visual Neuroscience at the University of 
Rochester *

Postdoctoral position to study cortical circuitry underlying 
memory-guided visual decision-making is available immediately in the 
laboratory of Dr. Tatiana Pasternak. Experimental approaches include 
extracellular single- and multi-electrode recordings of spiking and LFP 
activity from prefrontal and extrastriate cortical regions of non-human 
primates during visual comparison tasks. Other approaches include 
microstimulation and reversible inactivations. An important component of 
the work is a recently established collaboration involving computational 
modeling aimed at mechanisms underlying maintenance and utilization of 
visual information in decision-making.

Preference will be given to candidates with strong quantitative 
background and experience in extracellular recordings in monkeys. 
However, applicants with strong background in related disciplines of 
systems neuroscience are welcome to apply. Experience with MATLAB 
programming is highly desirable. Proficient knowledge of the English 
language is required.

The University of Rochester offers a stimulating research environment 
and excellent opportunities for interactions and training in cognitive 
neuroscience and visual science. Interested applicants should a CV and 
names and contact information of three references to Dr. Pasternak 
(tania at cvs.rochester.edu <mailto:tania at cvs.rochester.edu>). Please 
include a cover letter detailing your current research activities, 
expertise and the reasons for your interest in this position.
