[visionlist] Post-Doc at University of Nottingham

[Paul McGraw]

School of Psychology

BBSRC Funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Perceptual Mechanisms Underlying the Analysis of Texture-defined 
Movement in Human Vision

Applications are invited for the above BBSRC-funded post to work on a 
project investigating the basic visual processes that mediate our 
ability to perceive the movements of objects in the world, based on a 
range of visual cues including luminance (first-order motion) and 
texture (second-order motion).  The project will principally involve 
psychophysical (behavioural) testing of visual performance and some 
computational modeling.

The School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham has a thriving 
Visual Neuroscience group, with four faculty members, researchers and 
PhD students.  The group has a diverse range of interests in human 
vision, is supported by excellent laboratory and research facilities, 
and is firmly committed to the development of young researchers.

Candidates should hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD in a relevant 
field such as psychology, neuroscience, computer science or a related 
discipline.  A highly motivated individual is required with experience 
in visual perception (preferably psychophysics) and good computing and 
technical skills (e.g. Macintosh programming, C, Matlab, OpenGL).

Salary will be within the range £19,460 - £21,640 per annum, depending 
on qualifications and experience.  This full-time post will be offered 
on a fixed-term contract for a period of three years.  The successful 
candidate will be expected to be in post by 1 August 2005 at the 
latest.
