postdoc position at Columbia

[Ning Qian]

        Postdoctoral Position in Computational Vision
             Center for Neurobiology and Behavior 
                     Columbia University
                         New York, NY

A postdoctoral fellowship position in computational neuroscience is
available immediately for a recent Ph. D.  The postdoc will
participate in an NIMH-funded project that applies mathematical
analyses and computer simulations to investigate the neural mechanisms
of stereoscopic depth perception and motion-stereo interactions.
Opportunities for modeling other neural systems are also available.
The details of our research interests and the PostScript files of some
of our publications can be found at the web site listed below.  Other
systems neuroscience faculty members in the Center with closely
related research interests include Drs. Vincent P. Ferrera, Claude
P. Ghez, John Martin and Irving Kaupfermann.  The funding for the
position is available for two years with the possibility of renewal.
Applicants should have a strong background in mathematics and
computational modeling (in the Unix/X-windows/C environment).
Previous experience in vision research is desirable but not required.
Please send a CV, statement of research interests and experience,
along with names/phone numbers/email addresses of three references to:
