Connectionists: Postdoctoral Position in Visual Cortical Neurophysiology - CNRS Paris

Postdoctoral Position in Visual Cortical Neurophysiology - CNRS Paris

I am looking for an experimental postdoc for a project aimed at characterizing the functional impact of membrane channels and synaptic dynamics in visual cortical neurophysiology (see lab website at www.neurophys.biomedicale.univ-paris5.fr/~graham). This person will focus on in-vivo whole cell patch recordings in the cat and rat, including the development of several novel protocols and methods. The work will be closely allied with the analysis of the stochastic component of evoked and background activity from intracellular recordings, and of biophysically-detailed models of cortical neurons and networks. The contract will be initially for one year, with possible extension to a total of three years, and can start as early as November 2006. Experience required in either computational neuroscience, electrical engineering, applied physics, or electrophysiology. Interested candidates may send their c.v. and two letters of recommendation to lyle at biomedicale.univ-paris5.fr or to this mail address:
