The ideal candidate will have experience in awake, behaving non-human primate electrophysiology with a strong interest in computational models of behavior. Candidates with no prior experience with <i>in-vivo</i> electrophysiology will not be considered.</div><div><br></div><div>Applicants should submit a CV, a 1-page description of their relevant background and expertise, a 1-page research statement of interest with respect to the project, and names and email addresses of three referees.
