The Geffen Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, = PA, USA) has two openings for a postdoctoral researcher (one = experimental and one theoretical/computational) to study the neuronal = circuits for dynamic auditory perception. There are a number of projects = available, including: investigating intra-cortical and subcortical = circuits supporting auditory adaptation; identifying neuronal circuits = for hearing in the presence of noise; unraveling neuronal circuits = controlling learning-driven changes in auditory acuity. We use = cutting-edge experimental techniques for investigating population = neuronal activity, including two-photon imaging of Calcium activity in = behaving, head-fixed rodents, large-scale electrophysiological chronic = and acute recordings, optogenetic, pharmacological and behavioral = techniques. We are a creative, productive and collaborative group. = Please see our lab website for more details on ongoing projects in the = laboratory and recent publications ( http://www.med.upenn.edu/hearing = <http://www.med.upenn.edu/hearing> ). The ideal candidate will be an energetic, talented, friendly, = enthusiastic and creative researcher, who has recently completed (or = plans on completing) their PhD and has received training in = neuroscience, psychology, chemistry or biology (for the experimental = position) or computational neuroscience, physics, mathematics or = computer science (for the computational position). Prior experience in = systems neuroscience is desired, but a highly successful applicants = wishing to switch to neuroscience from other fields will also be = considered. Proficiency with Matlab or other scientific computing = software is expected. The campus of the University of Pennsylvania has a wonderful collegiate = feel, and the Medical School is located on the main campus, facilitating = collaborations across departments. For a sample of events that almost = everyone in our lab attends, consider: a weekly lab meeting, a weekly = Computational Neuroscience Initiative seminar, a bi-weekly auditory = journal club, a weekly interdisciplinary Mind and Brain seminar, and = much more. Philadelphia is a vibrant city with a variety of cultural and = entertainment attractions. To apply, please send your CV along with a cover letter briefly = summarizing your research interests and pdfs of your recent publications = to Prof. Maria N. Geffen at mgeffen@xxxxxxxx = <mailto:mgeffen@xxxxxxxx> . ____________________ Maria N.
