[vslist] Postdoctoral Position in Retinal Computation: Alicante (Spain) and Paris

[lyle graham]

CNRS/Univ Miguel Hernandez, Postdoc, Retinal Electrophysiology and Modeling 
            
            A postdoctoral position doing in-vitro retinal electrophysiology and modeling is available immediately for a joint project between Drs. Lyle Graham (CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette, France) and Eduardo Fernandez (University Miguel Hernandez, Alicante, Spain). The primary goal is to characterize functional circuitry in the vertebrate retina, in particular that underlying directional selectivity (Nature Neuroscience, 4(2):176-183, 2001). This project is part of a larger European collaboration (CORVITIS) aimed at developing an implantable cortical visual prosthesis for the blind. Experiments in Alicante (south of Spain) will combine quantitative whole-cell patch recordings with novel anatomical circuit tracing protocols. Experimental data will be analyzed in the context of detailed neuronal models, primarily in Gif (near Paris). Participation in on-going in-vivo patch clamp recordings in visual cortex by Dr. Graham will also be possible. Contract is for one year, with possible extension to a total period of 30 months. The position will require extended travel between Alicante and Paris, supported by the grant. Patch clamp experience highly desirable, as well as a strong interest in computational modeling. Please send CV and two letters of reference to Dr. Lyle Graham, UNIC INAF CNRS, Ave de la Terrasse, Gif-sur-Yvette, 91198 France. [Tel: (33 1) 69 82 34 13 Fax: (33 1) 69 82 34 27] Informal inquires are also welcome to either lyle at cogni.iaf.cnrs-gif.fr or e.fernandez at umh.es.
