Postdoctoral Position in Visual Neuroscience, University of Texas at Austin, USA

The laboratory of Eyal Seidemann at the Center for Perceptual Systems in the University of Texas at Austin is seeking applications for an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship. Our laboratory studies mechanisms of population coding in the visual cortex using a powerful combination of optical imaging with voltage-sensitive dyes and electrophysiology.

Neurophysiological and psychophysical experiments are combined with computational and modeling techniques. The successful applicant would have an opportunity to work closely with our collaborators, Bill Geisler, Randolph Blake and David Heeger. The Center for Perceptual Systems (www.cps.utexas.edu) and the Institute for Neuroscience at UT Austin (www.neuroscience.utexas.edu) offer excellent facilities, an outstanding interdisciplinary scientific environment and a very collegial atmosphere. Austin is an affordable city and is widely considered one of the most beautiful and livable cities in the US.

Computational background, programming experience (C/C++/Matlab), and experience with neurophysiology or psychophysics are desirable. Please send CV, statement of research interests and the names of three references to Eyal Seidemann (eyal@mail.cps.utexas.edu).
