Doctoral position in visual neuroethology, Macquarie UniversityExpressions of interest, open to Australian and overseas students, are invited for a funded PhD in visual neuroethology. A Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarship (MQRES) for a PhD in cognitive neuroethology is available in the laboratory of Associate Professor Chris Evans and Dr. Ximena Nelson at Macquarie University's Centre for the Integrative Study of Animal Behaviour (CISAB, http://galliform.bhs.mq.edu.au/~cisab/) (Sydney, Australia). This project will be conducted in collaboration with Associate Professor David O'Carroll (University of Adelaide, Australia) and Professor Robert Jackson (University of Canterbury, New Zealand). The project involves an analysis of the neural mechanisms underlying visual decision-making in jumping spiders (see http://galliform.bhs.mq.edu.au/Spider_project/). We seek to use a broad range of methods, including intracellular electrophysiology and behavioural experiments using 3D animation, to understand how these small predators are able to make complex decisions based solely on visual cues. MQRES scholarships are available to students of any nationality with a record of high academic / research performance and include a stipend of AUD$20,007 p.a. tax exempt (2008), allowances for relocation and thesis costs, international tuition fees and overseas health cover for a maximum of 3.5 years tenure. Because Australian PhDs do not include coursework, this is sufficient time within which to complete the degree. Support is also available for research expenses and travel (visiting overseas laboratories and attending conferences). Casual teaching opportunities may be available within the department. Applicants should have completed qualifications equivalent to a four-year Australian Bachelors degree with First Class Honours (such as a Masters degree with substantial thesis component). Experience in some of the following areas would be ideal: animal behaviour, neurobiology, behavioural ecology, neuroethology, psychophysics. Evidence of research capability through publications or presentations at scientific meetings would be an advantage. For further information and discussion regarding this project, and as an expression of interest, prospective applicants should contact Dr. Ximena Nelson (ximena.nelson@canterbury.ac.nz) before 31 May 2008. In your email, please include electronic copies of your CV, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate academic transcripts (including grades). Further information on equivalence and other conditions for the scholarship are available from the Higher Degree Research Office. Phone: +61-2-9850 7663; email: hdrschol@vc.mq.edu.au. Final applications should be forwarded to: The Scholarships Officer [Posted 15 April 2008] Post-doctoral position in sensory neurobiology, Indiana University BloomingtonAn NIH-funded position for a postdoctoral researcher/research associate is available to study serotonergic neuromodulation of auditory processing. Our research group uses the techniques of extracellular recording in vivo, iontophoretic drug application, anatomical analysis, and in vivo voltammetry to assess the roles of serotonin and its receptors on auditory circuitry, and to measure how serotonin levels fluctuate in behaving animals. The research environment at Indiana University Bloomington is enhanced by a large and diverse neuroscience group and core facilities. This position offers the opportunity to make a substantial intellectual contribution to this developing area of research in the field of sensory neuromodulation. To inquire further, please contact: Laura Hurley [Posted 1 March 2008] Post-doctoral position in neuroscience, University of OuluApplications are invited for a position of post-doctoral research fellow for three years between 2008-2011 in the group led by Dr. Mikko Vähäsöyrinki and Prof. Matti Weckström, Department of Physical Sciences and Biocenter Oulu, University of Oulu, Finland. The appointee will be expected to conduct research as a part of a multidisciplinary research team focused on studying neural mechanisms of information processing. Peripheral visual system and downstream ganglia of the insect brain will be used as an animal model. The appointee will be given possibilities to develop her/his own interests within the general framework of the research group. We have good facilities for research at single cell, network and whole animal level. Methods used in the research range from in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology at single cell level to extracellular population recordings combined with closed-loop behavioral paradigms. Mathematical modeling and computational neuroscience methods form essential part of our research approach and this may also be part of the research done by the appointee. We are actively collaborating with several other laboratories abroad, and the work may also include visits or collaboration with those groups. Additional information can be found in the extract from http://cc.oulu.fi/~mtw/group.html. The required qualifications are:
The benefits include:
Initial appointments will be made for a probationary period until the end of 2008, or as agreed. All enquires and applications (either formal or informal) are welcomed and should be made to Dr. Vähäsöyrinki (mikko.vahasoyrinki@oulu.fi) or to prof. Weckström (matti.weckstrom@oulu.fi). [Posted 1 February 2008] Tenure-track position in genetics, Rutgers UniversityThe Biology Department of Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey seeks a broadly trained experimental geneticist for a tenure-track assistant professor position beginning fall 2008. Research interests in behavior, systems or computational/integrative biology are desirable. Ph.D. required and postdoctoral experience preferred. This position entails teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in the area of the applicant's expertise and participation in introductory biology courses. Please send curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation to: Dr. Joseph V. Martin Review of applications will begin 25 January 2008, and continue until the position is filled. Rutgers is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Neuroscience Position at Georgia State UniversityGeorgia State University (http://www.gsu.edu) invites applications for an anticipated neuroscience faculty position at the associate or full professor level. This position is part of a major initiative to enhance existing strengths in neuroscience at GSU over the next three years coordinated by the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (http://www.cbn-atl.org) and the GSU Brains & Behavior Program (http://brainsbehavior.gsu.edu). Preference will be given to applicants working in behavioral or systems neuroscience. We are particularly interested in research that complements the CBN's focus on the mechanisms of social behavior, neuroendocrinology, and the neuroscience of emotion. We are open both to applicants using standard laboratory animal models and to applicants with a neuroethological perspective using vertebrate or invertebrate species. Successful applicants will be individuals who will take advantage of the interdisciplinary collaborative research opportunities available within the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and the Brains & Behavior Program. Anticipated start date is August 2008. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree with relevant postdoctoral experience and demonstrated ability to conduct an independent research program using modern techniques. They must also have skills and interest in teaching. Submit curriculum vitae, bibliography, statements of research and teaching interests, and three letters of reference, either electronically to Ms. Tara Alexander at biotea@langate.gsu.edu, with the subject line "Neuroscience Search", or by mail to: Brains & Behavior Program The review of applications will begin December 20 and will continue until positions are filled. Georgia State University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. [Posted 15 December 2007] |
