[Greg DeAngelis]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE: 
Visual Neurophysiology in Awake, Trained Primates 

Postdoctoral positions are available to study neural mechanisms of 
visual perception at Washington University School of Medicine. Experimental 
approaches involve single- and multiple-unit recordings from rhesus monkeys 
trained to perform visual discrimination tasks. Electrical microstimulation 
and reversible inactivation techniques are also used to establish causal links 
between neural activity and behavior. Current research focuses on the neural 
basis of stereoscopic depth perception, as well as mechanisms of visual feature 
integration. For more details, see http://cabernet.wustl.edu. The laboratory 
is housed in a state-of-the-art facility that includes several other primate 
labs working in systems and behavioral neuroscience. The successful applicant 
will join a dynamic research community at Washington University with strength 
in all areas of neuroscience. 

Experience in cortical electrophysiology and/or visual psychophysics is 
preferred, but not essential. Candidates with a strong background in other 
experimental or computational areas will also be considered. Experience with 
C++ and Matlab programming is desirable. To apply, please send a curriculum 
vitae and the names of three references to:
