Postdoctoral applicants should have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, physiology, physics). Prior experience with high-dimensional data analysis and/or with single- or multi-unit recordings from behaving vertebrates is desirable. Successful candidates will be required to assist teaching at the master level.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class="">The initial appointment will be for two years with the possibility of renewal.
