Overview
Wake Forest University School of Medicine
A postdoctoral position will be available starting August 2010 to study the neurophysiological basis of auditory behaviors using the nonhuman primate model. The current focus of the laboratory is to understand how we detect signals (tones, complex stimuli) in noisy environments. The primary technique that will be used will be single unit electrophysiology (single and multi electrode) in awake animals performing behavioral tasks. In addition to electrophysiology, the successful applicant will perform quantitative analyses of behavior and neuronal activity, as well as some computational modeling, under the PI¹s supervision. Candidates with backgrounds in hearing research, vision research, oculomotor neuroscience, other areas of systems neuroscience, or engineering are welcome to apply.
Eligible candidates
Experience with electrophysiological recording, working with nonhuman primates, and skills in quantitative analysis and programming are a plus.
The laboratory is housed in the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy, and has strong collaborations and ties with the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Physiology & Pharmacology, and Psychology.
How to apply
Send CV and names of 2-3 references to Dr. Ram Ramachandran (rramacha@wfubmc.edu), Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Medical Center Blvd., Winston Salem, NC 27157. If emailing, send plain text cover email in addition to any enclosures.
