Postdoctoral fellow in computational neuroscience and primate single-unit recording: mechanisms of tactile selective attention

[niebur@jhu.edu]

We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work on a project that
involves both computational modelling and neurophysiological
recordings in awake behaving monkeys. The goal of the project is to
understand the neural mechanisms underlying attentional selection of
tactile stimuli. A strong quantitative background is required and
experience with neurophysiological recordings in awake behaving animals
is desired. We will, however, consider candidates who are otherwise
well-qualified but lack recording experience; they will need to be
exceptionally motivated to learn the techniques of animal training and
single-unit recordings. The work is a collaborative project involving
the labs of Drs. Ernst Niebur, Steven Hsiao and Ken Johnson, at the
Mind/Brain Institute of The Johns Hopkins University.  

If interested, please contact Ernst Niebur, niebur at jhu.edu, with a CV,
a statement of research interest, and the names and email addresses of
2 or more references. All email should be sent in ASCII format.
