Postdoctoral position - BEHAVING MONKEY VISUAL PHYSIOLOGY

A postdoctoral position or research scientist position is available in the laboratory of Professor Max Snodderly at the University of Texas, Austin, to study visual function of the early visual pathway of behaving monkeys (LGN, V1, V2). Projects include measurement of receptive field properties, effects of eye movements, and responses to natural images. Retinal image motion and position can be precisely controlled, including compensating for fixational eye movements. Single and multiple electrode recordings are made while monkeys view stimuli and perform behavioral tasks. Computational modeling is done in collaboration with Prof. Michele Rucci of Boston U. Applicants should have good quantitative and computer skills, and enjoy doing experiments.
