We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work on a project that
involves both computational modelling and neurophysiological
recordings in awake behaving monkeys. The goal of the project is to
understand the neural mechanisms underlying attentional selection of
tactile stimuli. A strong quantitative background is required and
experience with neurophysiological recordings in awake behaving
animals is desired. We will, however, consider candidates who are
otherwise well-qualified but lack recording experience; they will need
to be exceptionally motivated to learn the techniques of animal
training and multi-electrode recordings. The work is a collaborative
project involving the labs of Drs. Ernst Niebur, Steven Hsiao and Ken
Johnson, at the Mind/Brain Institute, School of Medicine, Johns
Hopkins University.

If interested, please contact Ernst Niebur, niebur@jhu.edu, with a CV
(incl. publication list), a statement of research interest, and the
names and email addresses of 2 or more references. All email should be
sent in ASCII format.
