<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US">We are hiring! We are looking for an enthusiastic
<b>postdoctoral researcher</b> to lead the monkey work of the <b>Zero-Noise Lab</b> at the

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span lang="EN-US">The position <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US">The Zero-Noise Lab investigates how neuronal population activity unfolds in real time during naturalistic behaviour,
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">and how this compares between
</span><span lang="EN-US">mouse and monkey. To this end, we conduct chronic electrophysiological recordings in the visual cortex of macaques and mice, while they are engaged in the same, naturalistic foraging task in a virtual environment. The lab is jointly
headed by Marieke Schölvinck and Martha Nari Havenith, and funded by the Max Planck Society. In the lab, postdocs and PhD students focus on experiments in either mouse or monkey, but intensely work together to ensure that we constantly align and mutually learn
from experiments across species. We are now looking for a postdoc to lead the monkey side of the lab, while developing their own ideas and research interests. Ideally, we would like you to start in
<b>spring 2020</b>. The appointment is for three years initially, with the possibility of extension by another two years; the salary is in accordance with the regulations for academic personnel.
