*POSTDOC POSITIONS: CIRCUIT DISSECTION IN THE BEHAVING NHP*



UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, SEATTLE,

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER AND GEORGIA TECH



Two fully-funded postdoctoral positions are immediately available for a
collaborative project funded by the Brain Initiative. The goal is to
identify and study connected neurons in visual cortex, frontal cortex and
the pulvinar as animals are engaged in perceptual behavior. The project
provides the opportunity to learn and implement a variety of cutting-edge
techniques including viral-based circuit tracing and optogenetic methods to
identify connected neurons, multiphoton imaging, high-density electrode
recordings and computational modeling. The proposed work is a collaborative
endeavor across the labs of Anitha Pasupathy and Wyeth Bair (University of
Washington), Farran Briggs (University of Rochester) and Anqi Wu (Georgia
Tech). The Pasupathy and Bair labs are part of the Washington National
Primate Research Center (WaNPRC) and have close collaborations with the
Allen Brain Institute. Postdoctoral pay at the University of Washington
will be in accordance with the Washington Minimum Wage Act.

Candidates with a Ph.D. in the Biological Sciences or Engineering and an
excellent research record are encouraged to apply. A strong background in
relevant quantitative data analysis and modeling, and/or a strong
background in primate or rodent neurophysiology or imaging would be a plus.
Please send applications (short letter of interest, CV and the names and
contact information of two referees), or request for additional
information, to: Anitha Pasupathy: pasupat at u.washington.edu.
