York CVR Vision Science Summer School

The Centre for Vision Research (CVR) at York University in Toronto  
will hold a one-week, all-expenses-paid undergraduate summer school on  
the topic of vision science, during June 1-6, 2008.

The program includes talks by CVR faculty on current research topics  
in vision science, as well as hands-on projects in CVR laboratories.   
The curriculum reflects the wide range of active research areas at  
CVR, which includes basic research on vision in humans, animals, and  
machines, as well as applied topics such as virtual reality, visual  
perception in low-gravity environments, and vision in clinical patients.

The program will accept 20 undergraduate students who are interested  
in pursuing a career in scientific research.  It is intended mainly  
for undergraduates who are planning to apply to graduate school in the  
fall of 2008, and are interested in investigating vision science as a  
possible area of research.  Both Canadian and international students  
are encouraged to apply.

This year's speakers and lab coordinators will include professors  
James Elder, Mazyar Fallah, Laurence Harris, Kari Hoffman, Ian Howard,  
Michael Jenkin, Richard Murray, Martin Regan, Jennifer Steeves, Laurie  
Wilcox, and Hugh Wilson.

The program provides on-campus accommodations, breakfast and lunch  
each day, a closing banquet, and reimbursement for transportation costs.

Application instructions are available on the summer school website ( www.yorku.ca/cvrss 
  ).  The application deadline is February 1, 2008, and applicants  
will be notified of decisions by March 1, 2008.

For further information, see the summer school website ( www.yorku.ca/cvrss 
  ), or write to Dr. Richard Murray ( rfm at yorku.ca ) or Dr. Jennifer  
Steeves ( steeves at yorku.ca ).

This program is funded by CIHR, NSERC, and York University.
