A postdoctoral/research associate position is available to study the =
role of the visual thalamus using awake behaving monkeys as a model. The =
experiments specifically test whether the neuronal activity in lateral =
geniculate nucleus is modulated in relation to behavioral demands =
including attention, memory and intended eye movements independent of =
the visual signals themselves. The student joining the laboratory also =
will have the opportunity to participate in other ongoing experiments =
designed to understand how parallel LGN pathways in primates contribute =
to the properties of primary visual cortex and its extrastriate targets =
using a combination of techniques including optical imaging, =
multielectrode recording and confocal microscopy. The Casagrande =
laboratory has active collaborations with the Bonds, Schall and Kaas =
laboratories. Vanderbilt University has a well known and active Vision =
Center (VVRC) and a strong Cognitive and Integrative Neuroscience Center =
(CICN). Additionally, a special program has been set up at Vanderbilt =
specifically designed to help postdoctoral fellows network and gain job =
training and grant writing skills. Experience in vision, computer =
programming and awake monkey models is desirable but not a requirement. =
Experience in electrophysiology, a PhD or MD, 3 letters of reference, =
examples of recent publications and a biosketch are required. The =
starting date is flexible with a duration of 3 years. Salary is =
commensurate with experience. Vanderbilt University is an Equal =
Opportunity Employer committed to excellence through diversity.
Note that Dr. Casagrande and 3 students will be available to talk to =
potential candidates at the upcoming VSS meeting in Sarasota (phone: =
