[visionlist] Post-Doctoral Fellowships, ERP Research, The University of Edinburgh

Post-Doctoral Fellowships, ERP Research, The University of Edinburgh.

Two post-doctoral positions are available in Psychology at The  
University of Edinburgh related to a new ERP initiative.

The first post is for a Research Associate with technical expertise in  
ERPs. Area of research is open but we are particularly interested in  
candidates who match one or more of Edinburgh Psychology's strengths  
in visual cognition and psycholinguistics.

The second post is for a Teaching Fellow associated with a new  
three-year ESRC grant on attention and eye movements in scene  
perception. The successful applicant will cover undergraduate teaching  
in visual cognition broadly defined and will have particular expertise  
in ERPs. The Fellow will have access to and be encouraged to use the  
new ERP Lab.

This initiative is associated with Edinburgh University's  
consolidation of the cognitive sciences in the central George Square  
campus with completion of two new attached buildings housing the  
School of Informatics (including computational neuroscience,  
computational vision, and computational linguistics) and the majority  
of the School of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences. The  
Psychology Department and the Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems  
occupy immediately adjacent buildings. The ERP Lab will be housed in  
custom space in this new build.

Both posts are expected to be available beginning September 2008 and  
are for an initial period of one year with potential extension  
contingent on future funding. Formal advertisement will be  
forthcoming, and in the meantime potential candidates are strongly  
encouraged to contact Prof John M. Henderson  
(john.m.henderson at ed.ac.uk) or Prof Fernanda Ferreira  
(fernanda.ferreira at ed.ac.uk) to express initial interest.
