[vslist] Postdoc in visual system development

[Sarah L. Pallas]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Developmental Neuroscience
Sensory Plasticity

	I am looking for a talented and motivated Ph.D. with 
interests in developmental or sensory neuroscience to join my 
laboratory.  The goal of my research is to understand the role of 
genes and synaptic activity in the development of central nervous 
system circuitry.  One project concerns the role of 
activity-dependent processes in the construction of receptive field 
properties and topography in the rodent retinotectal projection. 
Another project concerns the role of afferent modality on the 
development of sensory cortical circuitry (cross-modal plasticity). 
Experience with mammalian surgery and in vivo or in vitro 
electrophysiology is desirable.

	The successful candidate would be joining a highly 
interactive and dynamic group of 16 neuroscientists at Georgia State 
University in Atlanta, Georgia.  Atlanta, site of the 1996 Olympics, 
is a vibrant, expanding city with numerous cultural and recreational 
opportunities (mountains and seashore within easy driving distance). 
The Georgia State/ Georgia Tech/ Emory/ Morehouse research community 
offers unparalleled opportunities for neuroscience research. 
Equipment is state-of-the-art and salary and benefits are competitive.

	Further information is available at 
http://www.gsu.edu/~bioslp   Interested candidates should send their 
curriculum vitae and names of three references to S.L. Pallas, 
Department of Biology, Georgia State University, P.O. Box 4010, 
Atlanta, GA 30302 USA (FAX 404-651-2509, e-mail spallas at gsu.edu). 
Georgia State University is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action 
employer.
