The project will focus on the role of glutamate receptors and voltage-gated ion channels in generating the response properties of neurons within the major pathways of the primate retina. The studies will utilize single-cell electrophysiology and imaging methods as well as immunohistochemistry and protein biochemistry.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11px;"><span class="">Basic Qualifications</span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><ul type="disc" class=""><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">At the time of application, individuals must have completed all requirements for their Ph.D, or foreign equivalent, in neuroscience, vision science, biology, physics, engineering or related disciplines, except their dissertation.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11px;"><span class="">Additional Qualifications</span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><ul type="disc" class=""><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">By the appointment start date, the successful candidate must be able to provide proof of their completed PhD, or foreign equivalent, in one of the above fields.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11px;"><span class="">Preferred Qualifications</span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><ul type="disc" class=""><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">Experience or interest in visual neurophysiology<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">Experience with patch-clamp electrophysiology, calcium imaging, optogenetics, multi-electrode recordings or other functional recording methods<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">Experience with programming and data analysis in software packages such as FIJI, Igor Pro, Matlab<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">Experience with high resolution imaging methods such as confocal or super- resolution microscopy<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><font class="" style="font-size: 11px;">Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills<o:p class=""></o:p></font></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11px;">Postdoctoral Scholars at the University of California enjoy a competitive salary structure and benefits package.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 11px;">To apply, please visit <a href="https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01274" class=""><span class="" style="color: rgb(18, 149, 216); text-decoration: none;">https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01274</span></a>.
