A starting postdoctoral  position is available in the lab of Dr. S. Shipp & 
Prof. S. Zeki (Dept of Anatomy, University College, London UK) to 
collaborate in a study of thalamic mechanisms of attention. The work will 
involve neurophysiological recording from alert, behaving primates. The 
post is funded as part of a cross-disciplinary project including 3 other UK 
labs with expertise in  fMRI, MR tractography, computer modelling and 
neuropsychology, revolving around potential thalamic (pulvinar) 
contributions to selective visual attention.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline. Experience in 
vision science, cognitive psychology, computer programming  and especially 
electrophysiology will be of advantage.  The position is available from

London Allowance.  To apply, download further particulars & application
