Below is an ad for POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS in VISUAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY. For class credit go to his site and see what he does and how it might relate to our discussion on using animals in research....
******************************
Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Greg Horwitz at the University of Washington, Department of Physiology and Biophysics and Washington National Primate Research Center.
We study how signals for color perception are processed in the early visual system. Our primary techniques include: neurophysiology, psychophysics, and computational modeling. Specifically, we use white noise and adaptive receptive field mapping, simultaneous measurement of single-neuron and macaque visual sensitivity, and statistical models that relate the two.
The ideal candidate has a strong quantitative neuroscience background and experience with neurophysiological recording. Familiarity with MATLAB and single-unit recording in awake, behaving monkeys are desired.
To apply, please send A CV, research statement, and relevant publications/preprints to Dr. Greg Horwitz, ghorwitz@u.washington.edu.
Dr. Horwitz will be interviewing candidates at the upcoming Cosyne conference
(Salt Lake City, 02/25/10-02/28/10).
