A postdoctoral/research associate position is available immediately.
The experiments are 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. This student
will also have the opportunity to participate in experiments using awake
behaving monkeys to test whether the neuronal activity in different cell
classes in the lateral geniculate nucleus are modulated in relation to
behavioral demands including attention, memory and intended eye
movements independent of the visual signals themselves. 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 computer programming and
visual psychophysics 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 or more years. Salary is commensurate with
experience. Vanderbilt University is an Equal Opportunity Employer
committed to excellence through diversity. If interested in discussing
this position at the upcoming Society for Neuroscience Annual meeting
please contact Vivien Casagrande at the Wyndham Riverfront Hotel or via
cell phone number 615-397-6530.
