There is a position available at the Infant Study Center at Brooklyn
College for a post-doctoral researcher. This lab has many active research
interests including reading disabilities in adults and children,
development of infant vision, eye movements during scanning in adults
and infants and development of accommodation and convergence.
Opportunities are available to learn many skills such as eye movement
recording and visual evoked potentials.
We are looking for a vision scientist with good communication skills to
head an ongoing reseach project into reading disabilities. The project is
designed to investigate the role of temporal processing deficits in
reading disabilities. Comparisons of measurements of visual, auditory and
fine motor responses will be made in subjects with reading disabilities
and controls. The results are to be analysed in terms of the possibility
of a magnocellular deficit in temporal processing which would adversely
affect fast temporal processing.
The salary for the post is $32,000 per annum with excellent medical
benefits. The post will run for 20 months, and during this time, the
applicant will be encouraged to apply for additional funding. Interested
applicants should send a CV and names of three referees (preferably with
e-mail addresses or fax numbers) to:
P.M.Riddell@reading.ac.uk or LSHBC@cunyvm.bitnet.
