Connectionists: Postdoc Visual Processing in the Behaving Mouse in Amsterdam

[Alexander Heimel]

Pieter Roelfsema and J. Alexander Heimel have a joint post-doc
position available to study neural processing in the awake behaving
mouse using imaging at cellular and mesoscopic resolution,
extracellular electrophysiology and optogenetics. The research is part
of a European funded collaboration with the laboratories of Gustavo
Deco (Barcelona) and Hans op de Beeck (Leuven). Funding is available
for several years.

A background in neuroscience is advantageous, but excellent PhD
graduates from physics, mathematics, engineering or informatics are
also encouraged to apply. Expert programming skills are a requirement.

The project will be supervised by Heimel and Roelfsema in Amsterdam at
the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in Amsterdam. At the NIN,
seventeen research groups work to understand how networks of neurons
enable the cognition. The working language is English.
