POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITIES IN COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE

Postdoctoral positions for computational neuroscientists and
psychophysicists are available in Carlos Brody's research group at
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.  (see
http://www.cns.caltech.edu/~carlos/temporary/Lab). Applicants should
have an interest in quantitative approaches to neuroscience, and
should have, or be near completing, a Ph.D. in Neuroscience,
Experimental Psychology, or in a quantitative field (e.g. Physics,
Math, Engineering).

Successful applicants will be expected, after appropriate guidance
and/or any necessary self-education, to lead the group's research
efforts in one or more of the projects listed below. For more
information on each of these projects, visit the lab's web page. In
addition, those who wish to develop and pursue their own, independent,
self-originated, line(s) of research will be very much encouraged to
do so: the lab seeks an atmosphere of vigorous discussion and creative
independence. Applications from self-guided, motivated, and
independent-minded scientists are particularly welcome.

Applicants should send a CV, the names of three references, and a
summary of research interests and experience to: Carlos Brody, 1
Bungtown Road, Freeman Building, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724,
USA. The positions are open immediately; salaries are on the NIH pay
scale.
