CNRS/Univ Miguel Hernandez, Postdoc, Retinal Electrophysiology and =
Modeling=20
=20
A postdoctoral position doing in-vitro retinal =
electrophysiology and modeling is available immediately for a joint =
project between Drs. Lyle Graham (CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette, France) and =
Eduardo Fernandez (University Miguel Hernandez, Alicante, Spain). The =
primary goal is to characterize functional circuitry in the vertebrate =
retina, in particular that underlying directional selectivity (Nature =
Neuroscience, 4(2):176-183, 2001). This project is part of a larger =
European collaboration (CORVITIS) aimed at developing an implantable =
cortical visual prosthesis for the blind. Experiments in Alicante (south =
of Spain) will combine quantitative whole-cell patch recordings with =
novel anatomical circuit tracing protocols. Experimental data will be =
analyzed in the context of detailed neuronal models, primarily in Gif =
(near Paris). Participation in on-going in-vivo patch clamp recordings =
in visual cortex by Dr. Graham will also be possible. Contract is for =
one year, with possible extension to a total period of 30 months. The =
position will require extended travel between Alicante and Paris, =
supported by the grant. Patch clamp experience highly desirable, as well =
as a strong interest in computational modeling. Please send CV and two =
letters of reference to Dr. Lyle Graham, UNIC INAF CNRS, Ave de la =
Terrasse, Gif-sur-Yvette, 91198 France. [Tel: (33 1) 69 82 34 13 Fax: =
(33 1) 69 82 34 27] Informal inquires are also welcome to either =
lyle@cogni.iaf.cnrs-gif.fr or e.fernandez@umh.es.
