POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN VISUAL NEUROSCIENCE - SEIDEMANN/PRIEBE LABS

 

Center for Perceptual Systems, University of Texas at Austin

 

The laboratories of Eyal Seidemann and Nicholas Priebe in the Center for
Perceptual Systems at UT Austin are seeking applications for a postdoctoral
fellowship. Our laboratories are working together to investigate how ongoing
activity and attentional state modulate the activity of visual cortical
neurons using whole-cell intracellular recording in awake, behaving
primates. Electrophysiological and psychophysical experiments in behaving
primates are combined with computational modeling. The successful candidate
will have opportunities to learn additional techniques, including wide-field
voltage-sensitive dye imaging, two-photon imaging of genetically encoded
indicators, and various techniques for perturbing brain activity. 

 

The Center for Perceptual Systems (www.cps.utexas.edu) and the Institute for
Neuroscience at UT Austin (www.neuroscience.utexas.edu) offer excellent
facilities, an outstanding interdisciplinary scientific environment, a
strong vision community and a very collegial atmosphere. Austin is an
affordable city and is widely considered one of the most beautiful and
livable cities in the US.

 

Computational background, programming experience (C/C++/Matlab), and
experience with electrophysiology are desirable. Please send CV, statement
of research interests and the names of three references to Eyal Seidemann
(eyal at mail.cps.utexas.edu) or Nicholas Priebe (nicholas at mail.utexas.edu).
