Visiting Scientist Fellowship Program:
Visual Science and Visual Cognition in Imagery Analysis Project

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has several
appointments available for  Postdoctoral researchers with backgrounds in
visual perception, human cognition, neuroscience and/or related fields.
Appointees will work with government project scientists and contract
experts on projects investigating new methods of performing visual
search tasks involving EEG and eyetracking. Selected fellows will also
have the opportunity to perform research on topics of interest to the
U.S. Government and to interact with leading scientists performing
research and/or advising NGA. NGA's extensive partnering relationships
with other government agencies will expose fellows to a broad government
research community. Program participants will have the opportunity to
meet government decision-makers and learn directly from them about the
role of scientific research in government activities. Furthermore,
fellows have the opportunity to learn how research products transition
from the proof-of-concept stage to integrated production systems.

Full-time one-year appointments are renewable up to three years;
postdoctoral appointments are renewable up to four years. Students can
participate full-time or part-time as long as they meet eligibility
requirements.

The program is open to qualified U.S. citizens ONLY without regard to
race, sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national
origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran.
