A NIH funded post-doctoral position is available to study oculomotor
circuits in non-human primates with strabismus. The goal of these studies is
to use a systems neuroscience approach to understand the clinical phenomenon
of strabismus in monkeys. Experiments involve using the techniques of 3-D
eye movement measurement with implanted search coils, extracellular single
unit recording in brainstem motor nuclei and imaging of extraocular muscle.
We are looking for applicants with a background in systems-level
neuroscience. Experience in the oculomotor system or single unit recording
techniques in an awake-behaving preparation is desirable. The position is
funded for at least 2 more years. 

The neuroscience environment at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center
offers great opportunities for developmental and other studies in monkeys,
career growth and collaboration. 

Please send a CV, contact information, a cover letter describing your
interests, and the names and e-mail addresses of 2-3 references to
