Grade 7 point 30 - 34 £29,704 - £33,432 p.a.


Computer Vision, Mathematical Modeling, Image Processing.

Applications are invited for a full time fixed term (36 months)  
Research Officer working on an ESRC/EPSRC co-funded project entitled  
?An investigation of fixational eye movement patterns during  
three-dimensional object recognition? awarded to Dr. Charles Leek  
(P.I., School of Psychology) and Dr. Stephen Johnston (School of  
Psychology) and Dr. Ik Soo Lim (School of Computer Science).

This innovative project involves using eye tracking and other  
perceptual/behavioural methods to elucidate shape processing  
mechanisms in human vision during object perception and recognition.  
This will be achieved by combining data from studies of recognition in  
human vision with rigorous mathematical and statistical modeling.

This post should particularly suit candidates with a PhD or equivalent  
in mathematics, computer science, machine vision or image processing,  
who are interested in working in an interdisciplinary environment,  
with a view to opening career opportunities in the expanding field of  
cognitive neuroscience. The successful applicant will have solid  
mathematical and programming skills (e.g., Matlab, C++) and will,  
amongst other responsibilities, be developing software for the  
quantitative analysis of eye tracking data and the implementation of  
3D shape analysis algorithms from both machine vision and psychology.  
No prior experience with eye movement measures or psychological  
research is required. Some familiarity with current approaches to  
object recognition in machine vision would be an advantage.

The post will start on 1st March 2010 or as soon as possible  
thereafter, and continue for three years. Interviews will be held on  
8th February 2010.
