[visionlist] CVNet - Postdoc in fMRI Studies of Object Perception

[Frank Tong]

A postdoctoral position to conduct fMRI studies of object perception  
is available in Dr. Frank Tong’s lab in the Department of Psychology  
at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Tong’s lab has developed fMRI decoding/ 
pattern classification methods to investigate the neural  
representations of basic visual features and complex objects in the  
human visual cortex. This project will investigate how shapes and  
complex objects are represented at multiple levels of the human visual  
pathway.

Facilities include high-field 3T and 7T research-dedicated MRI  
scanners, TMS with MRI-guided stereotactic system, 2000 Hz infrared  
eye-tracking system, and extensive equipment for fMRI analysis and  
visual psychophysics.

Candidates should have a strong research background in vision or  
object recognition. Candidates must have a PhD or MD and extensive  
research experience in at least one of the following areas: visual  
psychophysics, cognitive neuroscience, computational methods, and/or  
functional MRI. Strong programming skills are essential; expertise in  
computational methods is highly preferred.

Applicants should send their CV, research statement and names of three  
references to: frank.tong at vanderbilt.edu.  Salary and rank will be  
commensurate with experience. Start date is flexible.
