POST-DOC IN VISUAL PSYCHOPHYSICS: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate to
collaborate on experimental and theoretical research concerning the optical
and neural factors contributing to age-related changes in human color and
spatial vision. The exact project will depend on the interests and
experience of the successful applicant.
The position is funded for two years, renewable on a yearly basis given
adequate progress. The laboratory is well equipped for research involving
both Maxwellian-view optical systems and/or CRT-based stimulus
presentations (Macintosh and Cambridge VSG generators) needed for
psychophysical and electrophysiological research. The laboratory will be
located in the Department of Ophthalmology of the UC-Davis Medical Center
(Sacramento) and will have a close affiliation with the nearby Center for
Neuroscience (Davis). UC-Davis has a large, active community of vision
scientists with interests ranging from molecular to clinical issues.
Davis is a small university town in California's Central valley, close to
the mountains and many Northern California recreational and cultural
attractions.
A Ph.D. or comparable advanced degree in any area is required. Applicants
should have a strong background in vision science. Comfort with computers
and computational modeling would be highly desirable. We value
intellectual, ethnic and geographic diversity.
The starting time is relatively flexible after 1 January 2000. Salary is
based on
experience and follows newly revised NIH guidelines.
Inquires by e-mail (jwerner@psych.colorado.edu) are welcome. To apply,
send a vita, reprints/prepints and the names of 3 references.
