[visionlist] Postdoctoral Position: Relationship between eye movement accuracy and latency

[Eugene McSorley]

A Postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Eugene McSorley at 
University of Reading, UK. The position is within a project funded by 
the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to 
examine the relationship between latency and accuracy in saccadic 
system. The work will examine the finding that saccades can become 
dramatically more accurate despite only a small artificially induced 
increase in saccade latency. See http://journalofvision.org/3/11/20/ for 
further details.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree in psychology, cognitive 
neuroscience, or a related discipline; or be close to submitting such a 
doctoral thesis. Experience in programming visual displays or measuring 
eye movements are of advantage. Salary is according to Research Grade 
1B: £19,460 - £22,289 p.a. The position is for two years, starting in 
April 2006.
