A postdoctoral position is available at the laboratory of Jose-Manuel Alonso at the SUNY Optometry to study the neuronal mechanisms of visual attention. The laboratory uses new multielectrode technology to monitor the activity from single neurons and neuronal populations over long periods of time in the awake brain (see Swadlow et al., J Neurophysiol 93, 2959-2965; Chen et al. Nature Neuroscience 11, 974-982). SUNY Optometry has an excellent team of researchers specialized in different areas of vision and it is located at the center of Manhattan, at walking distance from all main transportation hubs of the city. The position offers excellent opportunities to interact with researchers within and outside the New York City area, as part of ongoing research collaborations in the laboratory. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree and prior experience in electrophysiological techniques, Matlab and C++ programming. Please, send curriculum vitae and names of two references to the address given below and do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information.
Salary is determined based on experience according to the pay scale given by the National Institutes of Health.
