Postdoctoral positions in systems and cognitive neuroscience are available to study information processing in the visual cortex of man and monkey in the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at the German Primate Research Center, headed by Stefan Treue. Research in the laboratory focuses on the neural basis of visual attention and of visual motion perception. We use a combination of extracellular recordings from primate visual cortex, human visual psychophysics,

Several positions at various levels (MSc, PhD, Postdoc) are available in a new department at the Max Planck Institute in Tuebingen, Germany, studying learning theory and algorithms with applications in various domains (computer vision, bioinformatics, psychophysics modeling - for further information, cf. www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/bs/index.html). We invite applications of candidates with an outstanding academic record including a strong mathematical
