Postdoctoral Position in Visual Attention Capture
In Daniel Simons' laboratory at UIUC
A 2-year NIH sponsored postdoctoral position is available in my
laboratory at the Beckman Institute at the University of
Illinois-Urbana/Champaign. The position will be available as of
August 2002. I will be joining the Visual Cognition & Human
Performance division in the psychology department at UIUC at the
beginning of the summer.
The project is focused on attention capture and inattentional
blindness. My lab will be equipped with eye tracking equipment as
well as digital video hardware. The interdisciplinary Beckman
Institute has state-of-the-art driving and flight simulators as well
as a 6-sided VR environment (among many other resources). The
psychology department at UIUC has a highly collaborative group of
faculty in visual cognition and attention, with an emphasis on both
basic and applied work. The department as a whole is consistently
ranked among the top five programs in the country.
Candidates should have completed their Ph.D. by this summer and
should have interests and research experience in visual attention and
perception. C programming experience would also be helpful. For
more information about ongoing research in my lab, visit
http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~viscog/lab or my personal web page
(http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~dsimons). Both have links to more
information about the program at UIUC as well.
If you are interested in applying, please send me an brief email
message describing your research interests and goals. Please include
a CV and the names and email addresses of 3 people who would be
willing to provide a letter of recommendation for you. Feel free to
contact me for more information.
