[visionlist] Postdoctoral position in the UK: Accommodation, vergence and depth perception in stereoscopic displays

[Simon Watt]

Applications are invited for a three-year postdoctoral position at the 
School of Psychology, Bangor University, Wales.

This position is to work on an EPSRC research grant awarded to Dr. 
Simon Watt. It involves measuring accommodation and vergence responses, 
and depth perception, when viewing conventional stereoscopic displays 
and a novel multiple-depth-planes display developed with Prof. Marty 
Banks’ lab at UC Berkeley (Akeley et al., 2004, ACM Transactions on 
Graphics, 23, I804-813). The project will also test a model of 
accommodation control.

This is a full-time position, starting on Nov 1st 2007. The ideal 
candidate would have good quantitative skills and experience 
programming visual stimuli. They would also have experience recording 
oculomotor responses.

The School of Psychology at Bangor is one of the UK's leading 
Psychology departments. It enjoys the highest possible research rating 
(RAE 5*A), and offers an exciting research environment within a dynamic 
visuo-motor control group (Martyn Bracewell, Joern Diedrichsen, Martin 
Giese, Steve Tipper, Simon Watt). Further details of the School, 
including our extensive research facilities (3T fMRI, ERP, MRI-guided 
TMS, force feedback devices, motion capture), can be found at the 
following URL:

The University is situated on the northern coastline of Wales in an 
area of outstanding natural beauty within a few miles of the Snowdonia 
Mountains National Park and several quiet beaches. It is about a 
90-minute journey from the large urban areas of Liverpool and 
Manchester (and Manchester International airport).

Please make informal enquiries directly to me via email. I will also be 
at VSS where I would be happy to discuss the post (Poster: Saturday 
morning, B29/263).
