Postdoctoral Fellow Position

  Retinal neurobiology

My group has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate retinal 
information processing in polarization vision and the characterization 
of retinal neural networks in rainbow trout. Rainbow trout, among other 
salmonid fishes, possess two-channel polarization vision. The focus of 
our research is to examine how retinal neurons process polarization 
input (in collaboration with Dr. Maarten Kamermans, Netherlands 
Ophthalmic Research Institute). My lab utilizes a broad range of 
techniques and facilities include: CCD-based microspectrophotometry, 
fully operational molecular neuroscience lab with advanced image 
analysis (fluorescence and confocal microscopy), electrophysiology 
systems (extracellular, intracellular and whole cell patch clamp 
recording rigs), and Aquatic Holding Facility.

We seek an individual with experience in intracellular and whole cell 
patch clamp electrophysiology of retinal neurons but general experience 
with these techniques will be considered.

Applicants must have Ph.D. in Neuroscience. The salary is $35,000 CDN 
per year plus a benefits package. Please send applications via email and 
include: a cover letter outlining relevant experience, curriculum vitae, 
names and contact information of three referees:
