We are seeking highly motivated post-doctoral
fellows to
participate in a research program that tests the neural bases of
sound
perception. This research will be conducted at the University of
Philadelphia.
The goals of these projects are to test the contribution of
various regions of
the auditory cortex and prefrontal cortex to sound perception in
non-human
primates. Candidates should have a PhD. Those with an MD
will be
considered but only if the candidates have a strong scientific
background. A
strong candidate will have experience in systems and
computational
neuroscience; recording and analysis of single- and multi-unit
activity and
local-field potentials from awake, behaving animals (in
particular non-human
primates); experience in training animals on operant tasks;
analysis of
behavioral data and electrophysiological data;
computational-analysis skills; and
programming skills. We are interested in individuals who have a
good
personality and can interact well with other members of the
laboratory. The positions are funded through two new R01s
and are
available immediately. One of the grants is funded to Yale
Cohen. The
second is funded to both Yale Cohen and Yonatan
Fishman. Salary will be based on experience and the NIH
post-doctoral
scale. The University of Pennsylvania has an
outstanding environment
for neuroscience; in particular, systems and computational
neuroscience. The
environment is further enriched by the PIs’ ongoing
collaborations with other
members of the Penn Neuroscience community. For more information or to apply, contact Yale
Cohen (YaleECohen@xxxxxxxxx)
or Yon Fishman (yonatan.fishman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Interested
applicants should send a CV; a brief statement of research
interests; and names
of 2-3 referees. -- Yale E.
