BANGOR UNIVERSITY, BANGOR, UK
SCHOOL OF PSYCHOLOGY

Research Officer (Ref 09-9/87)
Grade 7 point 30 - 34 £29,704 - £33,432 p.a.

Computer Vision, Mathematical Modelling, Engineering, 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), 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 modelling.   
The post should particularly suit candidates with a PhD or equivalent  
in mathematics or engineering, 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 analyses 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.
