<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><font size="2" class=""><b class="">POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN KASTNER LAB AT PRINCETON</b></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><font size="2" class="">A position for a postdoctoral associate in human and monkey electrophysiology is available in the Neuroscience of Attention & Perception
Laboratory (NA&P Lab), led by Dr. Sabine Kastner at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. The lab studies neural mechanisms of cognition in the primate brain. Intracranial recordings from human epilepsy patients and non-human primates are conducted using identical
behavioral paradigms and combined with computational approaches.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><font size="2" class="">We are seeking an extremely motivated postdoctoral researcher with background in human or monkey electrophysiology. Studies will include
simultaneous recordings and stimulation from multiple, interconnected brain regions. The researcher will gain experience with the use of laminar/neuropixel probes and electrical microstimulation to study attention and decision making networks in a behaving
animal model together with parallel studies in humans. The project is part of a NIMH Silvio O. Conte Center on the “Cognitive Thalamus”. The successful candidate will be part of a diverse team of experimentalists, theoreticians and biostatisticians that studies
thalamocortical interactions in different brain models (tree shrew, macaque, human neurotypical, schizophrenia patients) and levels of analyses (local- and large-scale circuits). This is a unique opportunity to learn about team science approaches.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><font size="2" class="">Postdoctoral researchers are given the opportunity to participate in other lab research endeavors, and they are expected to make a strong
contribution to the lab's overall research efforts. Training also includes an introduction to various advanced neuroimaging methodologies.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: white;">Essential qualifications for these positions include: a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Bioengineering, Cognitive Science or
other closely related fields. Experience working with behaving non-human primates and/or background in electrophysiology of the visual system are preferred. All candidates must possess strong quantitative skills (e.g. Matlab, C++, Python). <br class="">
