[visionlist] Postdoctoral positions at Boston University

[Michele Rucci]

Laboratory of Michele Rucci
Boston University

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions to study the visual 
functions of fixational eye movements.
 
This research will involve: (a) analysis of the impact of eye movements 
on the statistics of the retinal stimulus, (b) computational modeling of 
the early visual system during the normal motion of the retinal image, 
and (c) psychophysical experiments with controlled retinal image 
motion.  We have developed a system for gaze-contingent display which 
enables accurate control of retinal stimulation.  See Rucci et al. 
Nature, 447(7146), 2007, for recent experiments that used this system to 
stabilize the stimulus on the retina.  These projects will examine the 
effect of manipulating the fixational motion of the retinal image in a 
variety of ways in addition to retinal stabilization.

The ideal candidate will have a strong quantitative background.  
Experience working in visual neuroscience is preferred, though not a 
requirement. The candidate's Ph.D. could be in Neuroscience, 
Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or a related field.  Experience 
with Matlab, C/C++, signal processing, and DSP programming is desirable. 
Salary is commensurate with experience.

The Active Perception Laboratory is located within the Department of 
Cognitive and Neural Systems with affiliations in the Departments of 
Psychology and Biomedical Engineering at Boston University.  Boston 
University is an exciting environment for postdoctoral study in vision.  
The newly established Center for Neuroscience brings together an 
interactive group of world-class interdisciplinary laboratories. More 
information on our research can be found at:  http://aplab.bu.edu.

Please send curriculum vitae, brief statement of research interests and 
accomplishments, and names and contact information of two references to 
Michele Rucci (rucci at cns.bu.edu).
