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.
The positions are funded through a new R01 and are available
immediately. 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 PI’s ongoing collaborations with other members of
the Penn Neuroscience community. For more information or to apply,
contact Yale Cohen (YaleECohen@xxxxxxxxx).
Interested applicants should send a CV; a brief statement of
research interests; and names of 2-3 referees. 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. -- Yale E.
