>Two postdoctoral opportunities are available on a new NSF funded project 
>to understand how micropatterned neuronal networks process 
>information.  The principal input / output devices will be planar 
>microelectrode arrays (MEA's).  Stages in the work include improving 
>substantial progress toward the repeatable, reliable growth of neurons in 
>small, designed networks; characterizing both spontaneous and stimulated 
>action potential activity; investigating how neurons encode more complex 
>logical functions and how they learn new patterns of activity.  We are 
>looking for individuals with experience and interest in related 
>neuroscience areas; bioengineering skill sets are a plus.  One position 
>will be at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Beckman 
>Institute and the other will be at Southern Illinois University School of 
>Medicine in Springfield.  There will be continual collaboration among all 
>investigators at both sites.  For more information, contact:
