Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in systems neuroscience

[Nicolas Brunel]

Postdoctoral position in systems neuroscience


Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France

A postdoctoral position is available in October 2006 at the Laboratory 
of Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, 
Paris, France, to study the coding mechanisms underlying 
auditory-somatosensory associations in the rat cortex. The project 
involves behavioral training of rodents and recording of multiple single 
units, either using two-photon microscopy or multi-electrodes. It aims 
at investigating neuronal interactions during multimodal associations in 
the rat cerebral cortex. We are looking for an applicant with a 
background in integrative neuroscience. Experience with either 
two-photon microscopy or multi-electrode recordings and with 
quantitative spike-train data analysis is desirable.
