[Martin Banks]

Postdoc Position (3D Vision at UC Berkeley)

A postdoctoral position is available to conduct psychophysical and  
computational studies of 3D vision in Martin Banks’ lab in the Vision  
Science program at UC Berkeley. The project will investigate several  
aspects of visual space perception including the information content  
provided by various sources of information (e.g., disparity, blur,  
perspective, and cues based on natural-scene statistics) and how  
information from those various sources is combined. We are  
particularly interested in understanding these information sources in  
natural viewing. Dr. Banks’ lab has developed special apparatus that  
allows unique opportunities to understand how the visual system  
estimates the 3D structure of the environment. One allows the study  
of 3D vision with all cues controllable including blur and  
accommodation. Another allows the study of 3D vision with optical  
higher-order aberrations corrected in both eyes.

Candidates should have a strong research background in biological or  
computer vision. Strong programming skills are required. Though not  
essential, expertise in Matlab and OpenGL are preferred. Expertise in  
computational methods is also preferred.

Applicants should send their CV, research statement, and names of  
three references to martybanks[at]berkeley.edu. Salary and rank will  
be commensurate with experience. Start date is flexible. More  
information can be found at http://bankslab.berkeley.edu.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative  
Action Employer.
