Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Human Oculomotor Control
A two-year postdoctoral research fellowship, funded by the Wellcome Trust, is available to investigate non-visual factors which influence the initiation of smooth ocular pursuit. Experiments, which will be carried out in the oculomotor lab of Dr Paul Knox, will involve behavioural testing of normal human subjects using the Cambridge Research Systems VSG to deliver pursuit stimuli and infrared oculography to record eye movements. There may also be the opportunity to participate in fMRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation studies.
Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in vision science, oculomotor control or appropriate areas of systems neuroscience or psychology. Some experience with the equipment involved (VSG, Skalar Iris, CED1401) and computer programming (preferably Pascal/Delphi) would be an advantage
Salary will be at an appropriate point on the 1A scale in the range of £16286-£18915 plus Wellcome salary enhancement.
