Postdoctoral position in visual neurophysiology

Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York NY

 

A postdoctoral position is available in the Kohn lab, at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. Our lab studies visual processing, cortical plasticity, population coding, perceptual decision making, and corticocortical communication and circuitry. Our experiments involve multielectrode recordings from the visual system of anesthetized and awake, behaving non-human primates. We complement neurophysiological recordings with human perceptual experiments, computational modeling, and optogenetic manipulations. We have robust collaborations with several computational and theoretical neuroscience groups, developing new methods for understanding population codes and corticocortical communication.

 

Einstein offers a vibrant, supportive community of researchers. It is located in a quiet neighborhood of New York, only a short subway ride from Manhattan. The New York City area offers numerous opportunities to interact with experts in a wide variety of neuroscience topics.

 

Experience in neurophysiology, programming, quantitative methods, or behavioral training are desired. Inquires about the position and applications (CV and names and contact information for references) should be sent to adam.kohn@einstein.yu.edu. The position will remain open until filled.
