POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE -- SUMMER/FALL 1990
The Neurosciences Division of the Navy Personnel Research and
Development Center (NPRDC), San Diego, is looking for a recent Ph. D.
to study electrophysiological correlates of human cognition. Ongoing
research includes neuroelectric (EEG and ERP) and neuromagnetic
(evoked field) technology. The primary emphasis is on the improvement
of on-job performance prediction and training; however, considerable
emphasis is given to basic research issues. Another area of interest
is in real-time electrophysiological signal processing using adaptive
filters and neural networks. The well-equipped Neuroscience Labora-
tory includes two Concurrent computer systems, several '386 PC sys-
tems, a Macintosh SE, and other equipment, as well as extensive
stimulus presentation, data acquisition and analysis software. Access
privileges to VAX 11/780, IBM 4341, and SUN 4 systems, and the INTER-
NET network are also available. An associate investigator role will be
assumed by the successful candidate and he/she will be expected to
develop a line of research in concert with Center goals.
Qualifications include:
1. U. S. Citizenship
2. Ph. D., Sc. D., or equivalent in psychology or neuroscience
received not more than 7 years from date of award
Additional experience desired:
1. Cognitive psychophysiology training / experience
2. Experimental design / methodology
3. Multivariate / univariate statistics
4. Proficiency with UNIX and C programming
The position is available through the Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program funded by the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Technology (ONT) and
administered by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
Duration of the appointment is for one year, and may be renewed for up
to two additional years. Stipends range from $34,000 to $38,000 per
annum depending upon experience. A relocation allowance may be nego-
tiated; the amount is based on the personal situation of the partici-
pant. Funds will be available for limited professional travel.
NPRDC is located on top of Pt. Loma, overlooking San Diego Harbor
and downtown San Diego. Reasonably priced rental housing is available
within a 5-mile radius of the Center. San Diego offers an excel-
lent climate and environment as well as a wide range of academic, mil-
itary, and industrial research institutions.
The application deadlines are April 1, 1990, for terms beginning
in the summer, and July 1, 1990, for terms beginning in the fall. For
