<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Postdoctoral fellowship in primate neurophysiology.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>University of
Arizona, College and Medicine, Department of Physiology, Tucson. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications are invited to join a Medical Research Fund for
Neuroscience and NIH funded research program investigating the neural
mechanisms of emotion and social interactions in non-human primates. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The applicant will carry out neural recordings from the
amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex of macaque monkeys using multielectrode arrays
and will explore the patterns of neural activity within the brain and between
brains of two monkeys engaged in social interactions. This will include, behavioral
work with monkeys (training and preparation them for electrophysiological
recordings), neurophysiological recordings, and data analysis. The applicant
will have access to state-of-the art equipment, facilities, and will work in a
team with established expertise in behavioral neurophysiology, with ample
opportunity to learn new experimental approaches, techniques and methods. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates should have a recent PhD in systems or
computational neuroscience with a track-record of first-author publications.
Strong analytical and programming (Matlab or similar), skill and expertise in
data analysis and statistics are essential. Individuals with strong analytical
and technical skills who wish to expand into neurophysiological recordings are
encouraged to apply, provided they are prepared to run quasi-independently
neurophysiological experiments. Excellent written and oral English
communication skills are required.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The position is available from July 1<sup>st</sup> 2016,
with a competitive salary commensurate with prior experience (NIH scale). The
