Description



The University of Chicago's Department of Neurobiology in the Biological Sciences Division is searching for a Research Assistant Professor (RAP) whose primary activity will be academic research in association with a faculty member or team. The RAP will be responsible for designing and implementing behavioral-neurophysiological experiments using trained, behaving non-human primates to understand the neuronal mechanisms underlying visual attention.
