Subject: Postdoctoral position in auditory neuroscience at University of Pennsylvania From: Maria Neimark Geffen <mgeffen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:10:29 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>http://www.med.upenn.edu/hearing Postdoctoral fellow: Postdoctoral positions are available at the Laboratory of Auditory Coding at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine to study encoding of natural sounds by multi-neuronal assemblies in the auditory cortex of awake rodents. We invite applications from talented and motivated candidates with (or expecting) a Ph.D. in life sciences interested in: -electrophysiology and imaging: multi-neuronal recordings in behaving rodents -molecular biology: optogenetic manipulations targeting specific neuronal subtypes -theory and computation: sound analysis and analysis of dynamics in cortical networks Strong computational skills and experience in sensory neuroscience are a strong plus. Our laboratory is part of the Hearing Sciences Center at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the Department of Neuroscience and the Mahoney Institute of Neurological Sciences. UPenn has a very active neuroscience community, and there will be ample opportunity for collaboration both within the department and with faculty in biology, physics and engineering. Please submit your application, including a CV, a brief statement of past and future research interests, links to recent publications, and recommendation letters (a letter from Ph.D. advisor is required) to mgeffen@xxxxxxxx _________________________________ Dr. Maria Neimark Geffen Assistant Professor Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Department of Neuroscience University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine 5 Ravdin 3400 Spruce St. Philadelphia PA 19104 Tel.: 215.898.7504 Fax: 215.898.9994 mgeffen@xxxxxxxx http://www.med.upenn.edu/hearing
