Positions Available
The lab is seeking highly motivated and industrious persons to fill several key positions.
A technical position is available for a computer programmer interested in developing systems for real-time dynamic (closed-loop) control of neuroscience experiments involving 3D visualizations. Demonstrated previous experience with OpenGL and the software/hardware requirements of real-time control with millisecond precision is highly desired.
We are looking for graduate students with undergraduate or master’s level training in the sciences or engineering. Interested students can contact me and apply to the following Ph.D. programs:
Neuroscience Training Program
Physiology Graduate Training Program
Postdoctoral positions are also available. Individuals with experience in multi-electrode neural recordings and/or fMRI in behaving animals are particularly encouraged to apply.
Research
3D Vision
How do we perceive the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the world when our eyes only sense 2D projections like a movie on a screen?
Multisensory Integration
Our visual system first encodes the environment in egocentric coordinates defined by our eyes. Such representations are inherently unstable in that they shift and rotate as we move our eyes or head.
Neural basis of autism
The prevalence of autism is growing at a dramatic rate, with a proportionate response from the scientific community.
