[vslist] Post doc, Columbia U, NY: Cortical Mechanisms of Early Vision

[Aniruddha Das]

Postdoctoral Position in Early Visual Processing

(Using optical imaging in alert monkeys combined with modeling and 
psychophysics)



Lab of Aniruddha Das

Columbia University

Center for Neurobiology and Behavior



Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study the cortical 
mechanisms underlying early visual processing, i.e. the parsing of visual 
scenes into contours, surfaces, textures etc. The work involves optical 
imaging and electrode recordings from trained alert monkeys (early visual 
areas, V1, V2...), combined with modeling and psychophysics. Candidates 
should have a strong quantitative background with a demonstrated interest 
in applying such quantitative methods to problems in neurobiology. The 
candidates Ph.D. could be in Neuroscience, Physics, Computer Science, 
Engineering or a related field. A facility with Matlab / IDL and / or C++ 
is highly desirable.



This is a new laboratory in a brand new Center for Integrative Neuroscience 
at Columbia University. We share a floor with 5 other groups also working 
on issues of systems neuroscience with diverse interests ranging over 
attentional mechanisms, oculomotor control, emotional circuitry and 
computational neurobiology. Our Center is particularly committed to 
maintaining a strongly interactive and collaborative atmosphere amongst the 
different laboratories.
