[visionlist] Schepens Eye Research Institute- PostDoctoral Research Fellow

[Frances Ng]

Post Doctoral research position in psychophysics/computational vision

A one-year position with potential for extension is available in the 
Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School.

Join an active group with excellent facilities in a great location doing 
state of the art work that matters.  Looking for a young collaborator with 
background in psychophysics, computational vision and an interest in 
studying spatial vision with an emphasis on real world applications.  Most 
of the time will be devoted to participating in and expanding studies 
already in progress at the Lab.  These include: simulation of normal and 
low vision, vision models for image quality metrics, perception of 
contrast, sampling in the visual system, image- and video-enhancement for 
visually-impaired people, the development of electronic and optical 
head-mounted-display-based aids for low vision, and adaptation of low 
vision observers to optical and electronic aids.  The successful candidate 
will be able to devote some time to developing an independent program of 
research within the general scope of studies in the Vision Rehabilitation Lab.

Computer programming skills are necessary, with UNIX and C knowledge an 
advantage, and Matlab experience a requirement.  Solid background in visual 
psychophysics is of great value, and an interest in working in the area of 
low vision rehabilitation is an important consideration.

Position is available immediately.  Salary is commensurate with experience 
and generally similar to  NIH fellowship levels.

Please e-mail CV (PDF format) and contact information for two references to 
Dr Eli Peli (eli at vision.eri.harvard.edu) or send resume, in confidence, 
to:  Human Resources Department, THE SCHEPENS EYE RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 20 
Staniford St., Boston, MA 02114. Equal Employment Opportunity 
Employer.  M/F/H/V.
