Postdoctoral Fellow in Visual Neuroscience
Brain and Behavior Discovery Institute
Medical College of Georgia
Augusta, GA 30912, USA
The laboratory of Jay Hegdé at the Brain and Behavior Discovery
Institute at the Medical College of Georgia has an immediate opening for
a postdoctoral researcher.
We study the neural mechanisms of visual perception as statistical
(Bayesian) inference. We use a variety of research methods, including
multiunit recordings in awake, behaving monkeys, fMRI in humans and
monkeys, psychophysics and computational modeling. Strongly motivated,
self-driven individuals with prior experience in at least one of these
fields and the desire to gain expertise in one or more of the others are
especially encouraged to apply.
The laboratory is one of several highly collegial and interactive groups
at the Brain and Behavior Discovery Institute. The Institute is an
exciting new center for systems neuroscience, with plans for rapid
expansion in the immediate future. Medical College of Georgia has strong
research programs in other neuroscientific disciplines, including
molecular, cellular and developmental neuroscience, and a variety of
related clinical disciplines. Opportunities for research collaborations
also exist at the adjacent VA Hospital.
Augusta, the second largest city in Georgia, is renowned internationally
for its annual Masters golf tournament. Known as the ‘Garden City’,
Augusta features picturesque neighborhoods, low cost of living, and
plenty of cultural and recreational opportunities. Larger metropolitan
areas such as Atlanta and Columbia, SC are within two hours’ drive, as
are many scenic destinations, including the Blue Ridge Mountains and the
Atlantic coast.
To apply, please send (i) curriculum vitae and (ii) a cover letter
describing research accomplishments and interests, and have two letters
of recommendation sent to Jay Hegdé at the address below, preferably as
email attachments. In addition, please apply online at www.mcg.edu/Jobs
for position #8827. For informal inquiries, or to set up an appointment
at the upcoming Society for Neuroscience meeting, please send an email.
Medical College of Georgia is an AA/EEO/Equal Access/ADA Employer.
