   RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION AVAILABLE
                                         in
               VISION/COGNITIVE SCIENCE

START DATE: Summer '00

This position is in a lab that conducts psychophysical research
primarily in the area of visual attention. What is vision like
without attention? How is attention deployed? What does it do?
What happens after it is deployed away from a previously attended
object? Most experiments test healthy young adults. The position
involves all stages of the research process from planning experiments
to helping to write up results for publication, but the main focus
is data collection and analysis. RA's usually attend and present at one
scientific meeting each year (usually ARVO).

This position requires a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
degree. A major in Psychology or related field would be plus, but
is not necessary. Some research experience would also be useful.
A candidate should have experience with personal computers and/or
workstations and should be willing to learn how to use our statistics,
graphics, and word processing packages. Programming experience is not
necessary, but familiarity with C and/or MatLab would be a plus.

A candidate must be able to work independently and should be able
to interact with subjects in a tactful and pleasant manner.
This is an excellent position for a new college graduate who wants
to spend two or more years in a research setting before going on to
graduate school. NOTE: A two year commitment is required.
