The University of Rochester seeks an outstanding postdoctoral fellow 
with research interests in the field of virtual reality-based 
learning and vision in humans to work as part of a multi-investigator 
and multi-institutional program on critical period and brain 
plasticity using amblyopia as the model case. The overarching goal is 
to develop better behavioral training for treating amblyopia in 
adults. The successful candidate will help design and implement a 
VR-based video game to rehabilitate depth perception and will design 
and run experiments on plasticity and learning in stereopsis. The 
candidate will work primarily with Professor D. Bavelier and D. Knill 
within the Center for Visual Sciences and the Departments of Brain & 
Cognitive Sciences at the U. of Rochester. The successful candidate 
should have a strong background in vision, and in particular in 
issues related to depth perception. A strong programming background 
in C++ and 3D graphics is highly valued.
