Applications are invited for a three year Research Associate position,

movements and binocular visual perception. Our aim is to understand how
visual and eye movement information interact to improve 3-D perception and
visually guided action.

should be enthusiastic about vision and should have, or be keen to learn,
the skills of human eye movement measurement, graphics programming,
measurement of motor behaviour and visual psychophysics.
Newcastle is now a leading centre for vision research in the UK. The
Department of Psychology's staff have research programmes in vision,
cognitive and computational neuroscience; evolutionary psychology and
behavioural ecology. The Department is the home of two interdisciplinary
research centres: the Neural Systems Group and the Evolution and Behaviour
Research Group. Together, these groups have recently been awarded a major
infrastructure grant from the Wellcome Trust under the Joint Infrastructure
Fund (see: http://www.psychology.ncl.ac.uk/). The research associate will
also have the opportunity to collaborate on measuring eye movements and
visuo-motor interactions with Prof. John Findlay (Durham University) and
Dr. Madelaine Grealy (Strathclyde University).
The appointment is available from 1st October 2000, for 1 year in the first
instance, renuable for 2 further years subject to progress. Starting salary
