POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS - NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF SPATIAL CODING AND
HEAD-FREE 3-D GAZE CONTROL
Location: Doug Crawford's lab at the York Centre for Vision Research,
York University, Toronto, Canada.
Projects: Funding is currently available for upcoming post-doc projects
in our primate neurophysiology labs, in the following areas: (1)
Reference frames for visuomotor coding in cortical and subcortical
structures like the superior colliculus and the supplementary eye
fields. (2) Cortical and Subcortical mechanisms of spatial updating of
3-D space. (3) Neural Mechanisms of eye-head coordination (4) Neural
mechanisms of 3-D head posture. For more information see
http://www.yorku.ca/jdc/
Project Resources: An recently expanded, integrated primate facility
that includes animal housing, surgery, and 5 laboratory set-ups, each
equipped with 3-D eye coil systems for head-free recordings, Plexon and
alpha-omega multi-unit recording systems, visual and vestibular stimuli.
Strong surgical, technical, and programming support. Central office
space in Centre for Vision Research. Regular Vision Seminar Series and
laboratory meetings. CIHR Strategic Training Program in Vision Health
Science.
Salary Support: Funding at or above CIHR scholarship levels for two or
more years.
Start-time: 2004
Qualifications. Ph.D. in a neuroscience-related field. Preference will
be given to candidates with experience in recording and analysing single
/ multiple unit data in alert animals. Skills in quantitative analysis,
programming, eye movement recording, motor control, vision, cognitive
neuroscience, and/or modelling would be an asset.
