[visionlist] Funded postdoc positions: Synaptic and network mechanisms of visual perception

[Bilal Haider]

The Haider Lab in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Tech
& Emory University seeks 1-2 highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral
fellows for a 3–5 year NIH funded project examining synaptic and network
mechanisms supporting visual perception.  The position is available
immediately and conforms to NIH standards for salary and benefits.

The project offers significant opportunity to use cutting-edge research
techniques in vivo during visual perception.  These include 1) neural
population recording with high-density silicon electrodes, 2) optogenetic
circuit manipulation,  and 3) whole-cell patch-clamp recording during
behavior.

The ideal candidate has expertise in patch clamp or multi-electrode
electrophysiology in vitro or in vivo, and quantitative skill in data
acquisition and analysis (preferably with MATLAB). Candidates should have
excellent written and verbal communication skills, an inquisitive mindset,
and enthusiasm to work in a multi-disciplinary team.

The position is funded for up to 5 years, pending satisfactory performance
upon annual review. We are enthusiastic to form a diverse, international
research group. All candidates will be mentored for independent career
development.

There is a strong, multidisciplinary concentration of labs focusing on
Neuroscience at GT & Emory. Atlanta is vibrant, green, diverse, and one of
the most affordable and livable major cities of the US.

Applications should include a CV, a brief statement of research goals,
expected date of availability, and names and contact information of three
references.
