[visionlist] Oxford Virtual Reality: call for Research Fellowship applications

[Andrew Glennerster]

Oxford Virtual Reality Research Laboratory

Opportunity for Research Fellowship applications

A Wellcome funded Virtual Reality Research laboratory has recently been 
set up in the University of Oxford in a collaboration between the 
departments of Physiology, Experimental Psychology and Engineering in 
Oxford and the School of Psychology in Reading to study 3D perception 
and sensori-motor control in freely moving humans. A new Wellcome Trust 
grant has just been awarded providing secure funding for the laboratory 
and a state-of-the-art tracking system. There is a fully funded position 
for computing support and software development with an experienced 
programmer already in place. With a high resolution, wide field-of-view 
binocular head mounted display, the Oxford VR system is one of the most 
advanced for the controlled manipulation of 3D cues in freely moving 
observers.

We seek a highly motivated, bright researcher interested in 3D 
representation to apply for a Senior Research Fellowship based in the 
Oxford VR lab. Possible Fellowships include:

Wellcome Research Career Development Fellowship in Basic Biomedical 
Science (deadline November 2006)
BBSRC David Phillips Fellowship (November 2006)
EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship (November 2006)
Royal Society University Research Fellowship (January 2007)
MRC Career Development Award (January 2007)
