PHD POSITION
AUDITORY NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
Dept. of Neuroscience, Erasmus MC,
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Posted
5/19/08
A 4-year position for a graduate
student is available at the Dept. of Neuroscience,
Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. In this
project, the processing of low-frequency sounds by
the inner ear is studied through the neural
response they evoke. To this end, a tailored
acoustic stimulus is used that allows an accurate
quantitative analysis of the mechanical processing
preceding the neural stage (J. Neurosci, 2006,
26:11462-73).
The PhD student will record from
single auditory nerve fibers of the Mongolian
gerbils and, in a later stage, of the Leopard frog.
The setup for neural recordings from the gerbil is
operational. Recordings from the frog will be
performed at UCLA, California, during a 4-month
collaboration project with Dr. P. Narins.
More information on the Neuroscience
Dept, can be found at http://neuro.nl/research.
The PhD student will participate in the Auditory
Periphery group http://beta.neuro.nl/research/vanderheijden.
Applicants should have an M.Sc. in
Biology, Medicine, Biophysics, or equivalent, with
a demonstrable interest in Neuroscience research.
An affinity with quantitative techniques is
required. Experience with electrophysiological
techniques is preferred. Send your application (in
English or Dutch), including a CV and the names of
two references to Dr. Marcel van der Heijden,
m.vanderheyden@erasmusmc.nl.
