FacultyAdded 09/14/2007 StaffAdded 09/10/2007 The principal responsibilities of the Research Assistant will be to conduct standard molecular biology techniques (e.g., cloning, PCR, genotyping), tissue preparation for histology (cryostat sectioning), in-situ hybridization and immunocytochemical procedures. In addition, the Research Assistant will be involve in some behavioral work, animal breeding and will provide organizational support for the lab (e.g., day-to-day ordering of equipment and laboratory maintenance). The ideal candidate will have rigorous training in molecular biology, in-situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry, in addition to histological routines. Experience with viral vectors, proteomics and surgical procedures are a plus, but not a requi03/26/2008 and Cell Biology or other relevant discipline, be interested in neurobiology, have a strong work ethic, and have previous experience with methods in molecular biology. Ability to work and communicate within a team is a must. This full-time position is available immediately. A 1-year commitment is required but a 2-year commitment is strongly preferred. Salary will be commensurate with experience and competitive benefits are provided. Applications will be reviewed immediately and continue until the position is filled. Candidates should e-mail a short letter of interest, a detailed CV with a summary of research experiences, and the names and contact information of three referees, to Dr. Raphael Pinaud, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, 14627. E-mail: Added 06/18/2007 UndergraduatesPostdocs & Research AssociatesAdded 03/05/2008 Preference will be given to candidates with experience in single unit recordings in monkeys, although candidates with strong background in related disciplines of systems neuroscience are welcome to apply. Experience with Matlab is desirable. Proficient knowledge of the English language is required. University of Rochester and the Center for Visual Science offers a stimulating research environment and excellent opportunities for interactions and training in visual science and cognitive neuroscience. Please send curriculum vitae, description of current research interests and names/addresses of three references to Dr. Tatiana Pasternak ( ). Added 12/06/2007 Added 09/11/2007 The position is available for an individual who has an excellent record in research and is highly motivated and enthusiastic about the neural basis of sensory systems plasticity and learning. The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in the biological sciences and extensive experience in molecular and cell biology. Experience in quantitative proteomics, patch-clamp electrophysiology, extracellular recordings in awake animals and/or neuroanatomy is a plus; candidates with experience in some or all of these techniques are highly encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates who have obtained their Ph.D. within the last two years. This full-time position is available immediately but a 2-year commitment is required. Salary will be commensurate with experience and competitive benefits are provided. Applications will be reviewed immediately and continue until the positions are filled. Candidates should e-mail a short letter of interest, a detailed CV with a summary of research experiences, and the names and contact information of three referees, to Dr. Raphael Pinaud, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA. E-mail: Added 11/29/2005 Geunyoung Yoon, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Position in Visual Psychophysics: A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the lab of Robert Jacobs at the University of Rochester. The lab focuses on experimental and computational studies of visual learning with respect to mid-level and high-level visual functions, particularly on experience-dependent perception of visual depth. Some projects in our lab study observers' abilities to recalibrate their interpretations of individual visual cues, other projects study how observers adapt their visual cue combination strategies, and still other projects examine how information from other perceptual modalities (such as haptic or auditory percepts) influence how observers interpret and combine information from visual cues. We have a well-equipped lab that includes access to a wide variety of virtual reality equipment for creating visual, auditory, and haptic environments. You can learn more about our lab (and obtain several of our papers) from: http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/people/robbie/jacobslab/index.html Interested candidates should send a vita, a research statement, recent publications, and the names of three individuals who can write letters of recommendation to: Robert Jacobs Postdoctoral position: A position is available to study the role of the frontal lobes in learning, memory & language. Our work is aimed at understanding how we recognize, integrate and remember complex auditory and visual stimuli. Specifically we are examining the physiological responses of prefrontal neurons to species-specific vocalizations and their corresponding facial expressions in rhesus monkeys. Experience with extracellular physiological recording techniques, auditory neuroscience or primates is desirable. Send CV, statement of research interests, and names of two references to: Dr.
Lizabeth M. Romanski Postdoctoral Position: The Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester is seeking applicants for a post-doctoral training fellowship in visual science. CVS is an interdisciplinary center that brings together faculty from cognitive science, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, optics and computer science who are interested in a wide range of topics within vision science. The Center has broad areas of strength in computational modeling, psychophysics, neurophysiology and brain imaging. Faculty apply these approaches to topics including physiological optics, visual coding (e.g. of visual motion), 3D perception, the visual control of motor behavior and complex actions, visual attention, learning and memory, and visual development. Faculty and postdocs have access to numerous state-of-the-art technical resources including adaptive optics systems for correcting optical aberrations and imaging the human retina, several virtual reality systems, facilities for physiological recording in awake, behaving animals and a new 3-Tesla magnet devoted to fMRI research in brain and cognitive sciences. Interested applicants can find more information about CVS at http://www.cvs.rochester.edu. Applicants should include a CV, a statement of research interests and three letters of recommendation. The successful candidate will work with the selection committee to select an appropriate faculty mentor. Candidates are encouraged to contact faculty with whom they are interested in working to help prepare their application. Contact Debbie Shannon |
