POSTDOC - HUMAN VISUAL DEVELOPMENT
U MASS MEDICAL SCHOOL, EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER CENTER
The Infant Vision Lab at the U Mass Medical School/Eunice Kennedy Shriver
Center has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate. This
NIH-funded lab conducts research on visual and perceptual development in
humans, using electrophysiological, psychophysical and imaging techniques.
The principal focus of interest in the lab is on mechanistic studies of
normal and abnormal spatial vision development, including low-level
(contrast sensitivity, resolution) and higher-level (spatial localization,
object recognition, visual attention) processes. One responsibility of the
postdoc will be to direct and conduct visual evoked potential (VEP)
experiments with normally-developing infants and children. Opportunities
also exist to participate in other projects, including fMRI studies of
visual development, VEP studies of visual processing in dyslexia, and VEP
and psychophysical studies of children with visual disorders due to
prematurity or brain trauma.
Candidates should possess a recent Ph.D. in psychology or neuroscience, and
experience in human developmental research and/or vision research.
Macintosh programming experience is desirable. Please send a letter of
interest, CV, a sample reprint, and 2-3 letters of reference to:
