[visionlist] Postdoc at Leiceseter University, UK

[Quian Quiroga, Rodrigo (Prof.)]

We are looking for a postdoc to study single cell recordings in humans, performed in epileptic patients for curative surgery.

The project will investigate concept cells (a.k.a. Jennifer Aniston neurons) – that means, neurons in the hippocampus and surrounding areas that selectively fire to specific concepts, like different pictures and the written or spoken name of a particular person (e.g. Quian Quiroga et al, Nature 2005; Quian Quiroga, Cell 2019), which are involved in declarative memory functions. For more details see:

The successful candidate will contribute to performing recordings with patients and the analysis / modelling of the data to investigate the role of these neurons in memory. The candidate should have very good quantitative skills (data processing and programing e.g. in Matlab) and a strong background or interest in neuroscience.


Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Prof. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga (rqqg1 at le.ac.uk).

Best,


Rodrigo
