[visionlist] Post-doc in Paris

[Regis Lobjois]

*_What:_*

The City Hall of Paris has recently launched an application call to 
recruit post-doc researchers in its research institutions. All 
information can be gathered at the following address: 
http://www.paris.fr/portail/Education/Portal.lut?page_id=9096.

In sum, conditions are:

- a recent PhD, which means no more than 5 years ago,

- non French researcher,

- no previous episode in a French lab,

- the position could last between 3 and 12 months, but the ideal for the 
project would be 12 months

- the starting date is flexible, between the 1^st of September and the 
28^th of February next year, but once again the ideal would be the 1^st 
of September or October.

*The closing date to apply is the 8^th March.*

We propose to apply on the basis of the Sensorimoto project. Sensorimoto 
is a french national project dedicated to the study of 1) natural 
sensorimotor processes of motorcycle riders to evaluate the 
psychological fidelity of our moving base motorcycle simulator, and 2) 
to use eye tracking to measure the sense of presence in our virtual 
environment.

The post-doc position will be primarily dedicated to the study of 
natural coupling between visual strategies and control of steering in 
motorcyclists, and more specifically to disentangle the different 
hypotheses of the used visual cues that are currently discussed. If 
interested, the candidate will be encouraged to develop the potential of 
eye tracking measures to evaluate the sense of presence.
