[visionlist] Postdoc Position in Psychophysics/Computational Vision

[Matthias Bethge]

The Computational Vision and Neuroscience group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the University in Tübingen has an immediate opening for a postdoc or senior postdoc position. 

The ideal candidate would have a strong background in psychophysics and would be interested in pursuing psychophysical research with an emphasis on computational questions. 

The project aims to link mathematical concepts in computational vision to empirically measurable properties of human visual processing and will be carried out in collaboration with Prof. Felix Wichmann in Berlin. In particular, we are looking for outstanding candidates with a background in low-level psychophysics, texture discrimination, natural images, or visual search. There will also be ample opportunity for the postdoc to pursue their own ideas. 

The Computational Vision and Neuroscience group belongs to the recently created Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) in Tübingen. It is located at the well-established Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics. The thriving research community of MPI and CIN is composed of sixty labs with more than 150 postdocs and 300 PhD students. Possibilities exist for multiple interactions between neurobiological, psychophysical, and theoretical vision researchers. 

Tübingen itself is a beautiful medieval town and home to one of the oldest European universities. It boasts a rich cultural community and is situated close to the Black Forrest within 2h train or driving distance to France, Switzerland and Austria. 

The salary will be on the level of TVoD 13 (BAT IIa) or higher if appropriate, and the duration of the contract is negotiable. For additional information, see http://www.kyb.mpg.de/bethge/ , or contact mbethge at tuebingen.mpg.de . Applications containing the usual documents (short research statement, CV, list of publications, certificates) should be submitted by email to heike.koenig at tuebingen.mpg.de before February 28.
