[vslist] POSTDOCTORAL POSITION: NEUROIMAGING OF HUMAN VISUAL ATTENTION

[David L. Woods]

A postdoctoral position studying human visual attention is available in the 
Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory of the VA-Northern California 
Health Care System (VANCHCS) in Martinez, CA, about 25 mi. from Berkeley. 
The laboratory is affiliated with UC Davis and UC Berkeley. The research 
involves the combined use of structural and functional MR imaging to create 
maps of visual cortical fields. Activations from a variety of visual 
attention tasks are examined on flattened and normalized maps of the visual 
cortical surface. In most studies, attention is directed to different 
features of visual stimuli, and visual tasks are interleaved with auditory 
tasks of equivalent difficulty. Research opportunities are also available 
using ERPs and/or fMRI to investigate patient populations with focal 
cortical lesions. Position duration: 2-5 yrs. Salary: $35,000-$55,000 
depending on experience.

QUALIFICATIONS. Successful candidates will have a strong background in 
visual perception, physiology and/or anatomy (PhD or MD required), and 
should have programming experience (C++, Presentation control language, 
and/or Matlab). Experience with neuroimaging methods including ERPs, fMRI, 
or TMS is desirable. Interested candidates should email a CV, 
representative publications, and the names of three references to:
