Postdoctoral Position: EEG of fast visual recognition
Riesenhuber Lab
Department of Neuroscience
Georgetown University
Washington, DC

We have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow, starting immediately, to
participate in a research project studying the neural mechanisms
underlying “fast” object recognition using high-density EEG, focusing on
attentional requirements and interference between recognition tasks
(e.g., under dual-task conditions), as part of a larger collaborative
project aiming to develop a real-time neurally-based target detection
system combining machine and biological vision.

A strong quantitative background and experience in neural data analysis
are required. Experience with EEG and psychophysics is a strong plus, as
is training in biological and/or machine vision. Experience with Mac OS
X, MATLAB, and C++ preferred.

Our lab investigates the computational mechanisms underlying human
object recognition as a gateway to understanding information processing
and learning in cortex.  In our work, we combine computational modeling
with psychophysical, fMRI and most recently EEG data from our own lab
and collaborators, as well as with single unit data obtained in
collaboration with physiology labs. For more information, see
http://maxlab.neuro.georgetown.edu.

The position is for one year, with the option to renew for two
additional years, given satisfactory performance and available funding.
Salary is competitive. Candidates should be US citizens or permanent
residents.

Interested candidates should send a CV, a brief (1 page) statement of
research interests, representative reprints, and the names and contact
information of three references by email to Maximilian Riesenhuber
(mr287@georgetown.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately,
and will continue until the position is filled. Informal inquiries are
welcome.
