[visionlist] Post-doc in 3-D shape perception

[Qasim Zaidi]

I am looking for a bright and energetic post-doc for a project on 3-D
shape perception from combinations of monocular cues.  The work will
involve neural modeling, geometrical analysis, psychophysics using
texture, motion, and shading, and haptic-feedback experiments.  For an
example of the general approach, see Li. & Zaidi,  Three-dimensional shape
from non-homogeneous textures: carved and stretched surfaces.  Journal of
Vision, 4(10), 860-878, 2004.  The candidate should have a Ph.D. in a
vision/perception related field, some mathematical maturity, ability to
program vision experiments in a system like CRS-VSG, and familiarity with
Matlab.  SUNY Optometry is in the center of New York City, which is one of
the most exciting places in the world for life in general and vision
research in particular. The position will begin September 1, 2005 and
salary will be based on an NRSA scale.  Candidates should send, preferably
by email, a CV, relevant reprints, a single page statement of research
interests, and two reference letters.  The Research Foundation of SUNY is
an Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Employer.
