Connectionists: Postdoc position: Vanderbilt Non-human Primate Systems Neuroscience

[Womelsdorf, Thilo]

Non-human Primate Systems Neuroscience - Postdoctoral Research Position
Vanderbilt University,
Dr. Thilo Womelsdorf's Attention-Circuits-Control Laboratory:  www.attention-circuits-control.org<http://www.attention-circuits-control.org>

We search for an applicant to conduct learning and attention experiments in NHP's using large-scale multi-area recordings with laminar probes.

The job is for 3 years + options to extend. Starting Date: 2017 or early 2018.

We offer:
• TEAM: Working in a team with members having advanced computational skills and running innovative high-density recording set ups
• TECHNIQUES: State-of-the-art facilities at Vanderbilt University in a laboratory Dr. Womelsdorf newly establishes.
• CONCEPTS: A rigid network approach to understand attention and learning phenomena with recordings of spiking activity in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and the basal ganglia,
• SIGNIFICANCE: The research allows causal testing of mechanistic circuit hypotheses using various forms of neuromodulation (pharmacology, diff. stimulation techniques).

The job requires these skills:
• Experience with NHP’s
• Progamming skills
• Understanding of behavioral and electrophysiological analysis approaches in systems neuroscience.
