[visionlist] Postdoctoral Position in fMRI Studies of Human Visual Cognition

[Frank Tong]

A postdoctoral position to conduct fMRI studies of visual cognition is  
available in Dr. Frank Tong’s lab in the Department of Psychology at  
Vanderbilt University. Dr. Tong’s lab has developed fMRI decoding/ 
pattern classification methods to investigate the neural  
representations of basic visual features and complex objects in the  
human visual cortex. Ongoing projects include studies of perception,  
attentional selection, object recognition, scene perception, and  
visual working memory. Facilities include high-field 3T and 7T  
research-dedicated MRI scanners, TMS with MRI-guided stereotactic  
system, 2000 Hz infrared eye-tracking system, and extensive equipment  
for fMRI analysis and visual psychophysics.

Candidates should have a strong research background in vision or  
neuroscience. Candidates must have a PhD or MD and extensive research  
experience in at least one of the following areas: visual  
psychophysics, cognitive neuroscience, computational methods, and/or  
functional MRI. Strong programming skills are essential; expertise in  
computational methods is a definite plus.

Applicants should send their CV, research statement and names of three  
references to: frank.tong at vanderbilt.edu.  Salary and rank will be  
commensurate with experience.
