Ph.D. studentship in Bangor University, Wales: User issues in  
stereoscopic cinema, TV and computer displays

Applications are sought for a three-year fully funded PhD studentship  
in the School of Psychology, Bangor University, Wales. The project  
will use psychophysics, eye-movement recording and computational  
methods to understand perceptual problems and fatigue/discomfort  
resulting from viewing a range of stereoscopic media (‘3d’ cinema and  
television, and computer displays). The project is based in the Visual  
Space Perception lab at Bangor, directed by Dr. Simon Watt, which  
studies 3d visualisation, depth perception, visually-guided actions  
such as grasping, and visual-haptic integration. For more information  
visit the lab website: http://www.bangor.ac.uk/~psse2d/

Applicants should have a background in perceptual psychology,  
cognitive neuroscience, computer science/visualisation, or  
engineering. Eligibility criteria, and application details can be  
found at http://www.psychology.bangor.ac.uk/postgraduate/studentships.php.en

Informal enquiries should be made to Simon Watt: s.watt at bangor.ac.uk
