*Postdoctoral fellowship in primate neurophysiology.* *University of Arizona, College and Medicine, Department of Physiology, Tucson. * Applications are invited to join a Medical Research Fund for Neuroscience and NIH funded research program investigating the neural mechanisms of emotion and social interactions in non-human primates. The applicant will carry out neural recordings from the amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex of macaque monkeys using multielectrode arrays and will explore the patterns of neural activity within the brain and between brains of two monkeys engaged in social interactions. This will include, behavioral work with monkeys (training and preparation them for electrophysiological recordings), neurophysiological recordings, and data analysis. The applicant will have access to state-of-the art equipment, facilities, and will work in a team with established expertise in behavioral neurophysiology, with ample opportunity to learn new experimental approaches, techniques and methods. Candidates should have a recent PhD in systems or computational neuroscience with a track-record of first-author publications. Strong analytical and programming (Matlab or similar), skill and expertise in data analysis and statistics are essential. Individuals with strong analytical and technical skills who wish to expand into neurophysiological recordings are encouraged to apply, provided they are prepared to run quasi-independently neurophysiological experiments. Excellent written and oral English communication skills are required. The position is available from July 1st 2016, with a competitive salary commensurate with prior experience (NIH scale). The position is available with an initial appointment for one year and renewal based upon satisfactory performance. Applicants must pass background screening and health checks to be able to work with monkeys. The University of Arizona is an equal opportunity employers and women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Interested applicants should send a CV, statement of research accomplishments and interests, copies of 2-3 representative publications and contact information for 2-3 reference letters to Katalin Gothard at kgothard@email.arizona.edu Informal inquiries are welcome.
