Hello,

We would like to post the following two PDF ads on the vslist.

Thank you,

==================


.: Postdoctoral position in visual neuroscience :.

   We seek a postdoctoral fellow for research on primate visual function.
The candidate would optimally have some experience in single-unit recordings
and/or behavioural studies in monkeys and use that in conjunction with
molecular mapping of neural activity. Research experience in histological
techniques is preferable but not required. The combination of the two
techniques represents a powerful emerging approach for understanding the
neural correlates of sensory function. The candidate will join an active
research program on face and object encoding by neural systems in the monkey
temporal lobe. We can offer excellent research facilities and a scientific
environment that is truly interdisciplinary in scope. Salary is based on
experience according to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
scales. Further details on research activity in our lab can be obtained at
our website (www.cvl.mcgill.ca/training). Informal inquiries about this
position may be made by contacting Avi Chaudhuri (avi@psych.mcgill.ca).

.: Postdoctoral position in human visual psychophysics :.

   We seek a postdoctoral fellow for visual psychophysics research in human
subjects. The candidate would join an active research program in high-level
visual function, especially face and object perception. We now seek
applicants with research experience in low-level visual operations to join
our group. Although this is a broad search, we are especially interested in
candidates who have research experience in areas of motion, color, or
spatial vision. We can offer excellent research facilities and a scientific
environment that is truly interdisciplinary in scope. Salary is based on
experience according to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council (NSERC) scales. Further details on research activity in our lab can
be obtained at our website (www.cvl.mcgill.ca/training). Informal inquiries
about this position may be made by contacting Avi Chaudhuri
(avi@psych.mcgill.ca).

.: General description :.
Our laboratory is located on the 7th floor of the Stewart Biological
Sciences Building at the downtown Montreal campus of McGill University.
There are two major research groups within the lab—a
behavioural/psychophysics and a molecular/cellular group, both engaged in
studies on visual function. As such, the laboratory offers a striking
opportunity for interdisciplinary training and provides exposure to a broad
spectrum of analytical approaches.
McGill University has a large and distinctive neuroscience community and
thus there is considerable opportunity for research interactions. Montreal
is a culturally vibrant city and considered to be one of the best cities to
live in North America. We are within walking distance of the heart of the
city, which has many fine museums, galleries, shops, and restaurants. The
cost of living in Montreal is low in comparison to other cities.
