Postdoctoral Fellowship in Color Vision Psychophysics at Northeastern
University
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Rhea Eskew,
starting Fall of 2001 (or possibly sooner). The postdoc will be
involved in NIH-funded studies of visual adaptation, and of
asymmetries in increment and decrement detection by short-wave
sensitive cones (see for example McLellan & Eskew, Vision Research,
2000) and by the "red" and "green" detection mechanisms. Some of the
work will employ a novel method based upon combining response time
and threshold measurements.
The ideal candidate would have a strong background in visual
psychophysics, computer programming experience, excellent
quantitative skills, an analytical approach to issues in perception,
and be able to write well in English. Real (as compared to ideal)
candidates would have at least some of these characteristics. Some
experience with optics would be a plus.
Northeastern University is located in downtown Boston, close to many
academic and cultural resources. Members of the vision group at
Northeastern (Eskew, Adam Reeves, and Frank Naarendorp) maintain
close ties with other vision researchers in the area, and there are
frequent colloquia and seminars within a short subway ride from
Northeastern.
Applicants should send a c.v., a statement of research interests and
career goals, and two letters of reference, to Rhea Eskew at the
address below. Informal inquiries by email are welcome.
Northeastern is an equal-opportunity employer.
