The Savier lab at the University of Michigan in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and Ophthalmology is looking for postdoctoral fellows! We investigate the parallel processing of visual information using state-the-art neuroscience tools, such as large scale in vivo electrophysiology, in vivo 2-photon calcium imaging and cell-type based neuro-anatomical tracing.  The Savier lab has a unique comparative perspective on the problem and aims at addressing how circuits and response properties arise during development. This position entails the design and implementation of scientific experiments,  data analysis, preparation of manuscripts and presentation of scientific findings at meetings. Previous experience with animals is required and a strong background in either Matlab programming or in vivo neurophysiology would be preferred. A PhD in relevant fields is required and the qualified candidate must be able to work in a team, show advance communication skills and a strong motivation to resolve scientific problems.

The Savier lab at the University of Michigan in the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology and Ophthalmology is looking for Graduate students! The Savier lab has a unique comparative approach on the problem of vision and is seeking motivated candidates to push forward the multilevel approach the lab is taking.  We are looking for candidates interested in calcium imaging of early visual areas and electrophysiological recordings in mice and tree shrews to help us understand how visual information drives behaviors and how behaviors affect the encoding of sensory information.
