[visionlist] Research Scientist Positions --- New York City

[Qasim Zaidi]

Two post-doctoral Research Scientist positions are available for work on
NEI funded projects in Qasim Zaidi’s lab at the State University of New
York’s College of Optometry, beginning from July 1st 2008.  The first
project combines psychophysical, computational and physiological analyses
of 3-D visual and haptic shape perception.  The second project merges
computer graphics and psychophysical experiments to study time-varying
surface and illuminant appearance.  The lab has state-of-the-art equipment
to create real and realistically simulated situations. Applicants should
have a Ph.D. in a vision or perception related field.  Some mathematical
maturity, computer-graphics experience, and familiarity with Matlab are
highly desirable.  Salaries are based on the NIH scale and SUNY Research
Foundation benefits are included.  Through recent faculty additions, the
SUNY research program in Vision Science actively spans the field.  The
College is situated in the center of Manhattan, which is one of the most
exciting places in the world for life in general and vision research in
particular. Candidates should email a CV, relevant reprints, a single page
statement of research interests, and two reference letters.  The Research
Foundation of SUNY is an Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Employer.
