postdoc in a project involving the development of primate visual cortex

We are seeking expressions of interest in a postdoctoral position funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council, in a project involving the development of primate visual cortex. The position is available for 3 years, subject to yearly performance appraisal. Monash University is located in Melbourne, consistently voted as one of the World's most livable cities, and the site of a vibrant community of neuroscientists.

The position is suitable for those about to complete, or who have just completed, a PhD. However, more experienced candidates will also be considered, and salary conditions negotiated accordingly. The ideal candidate will have some experience in sensory neurophysiology and/or neuroanatomical tract-tracing methods. Knowledge of quantitative methods, and some basic experience using MatLab, would also be an advantage. However, we will also consider candidates with other backgrounds, and offer on-site training, with the key criterion being a good record of early career achievement.

Ideally the candidate should be in a position to start employment in the first semester of 2008. However, there is some flexibility to take into account individual circumstances.

Deadline for applications is 30 March 2008. For additional queries,
