[Elder James]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN PSYCHOPHYSICS AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF VISION

YORK UNIVERSITY CENTRE FOR VISION RESEARCH

TORONTO, CANADA

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of James Elder at the York University Centre for Vision Research in Toronto, Canada.  We seek an individual to participate in an ongoing interdisciplinary programme of research in the psychophysical study and computational modeling of human vision.  The candidate should have a background in psychophysics and computational modeling of human vision, and strong programming skills. 

 

Areas of interest for the laboratory include:

Natural scene statistics

Classification image and reverse correlation techniques

Neural modeling

Contour processing

Perceptual organization

Perception of shadows

Shape coding

Visual attention

Face perception

 

The salary for this position is competitive and the starting date is flexible.  The position is for one year, with the possibility of renewal.  Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.  International applications are encouraged. 

The Centre for Vision Research (CVR) at York University is an international leader in human and machine vision research. Uniting researchers from psychology, computer science & engineering, biology and kinesiology & health science, work at the centre is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, rooted in a fundamental research programme that merges techniques in human psychophysics, visual neuroscience and computational theory. Leading-edge facilities include a 3T fMRI scanner, a six-sided immersive virtual reality room, and a wide array of visuo-robotic platforms.

The CVR is home to a rich history of scientific discovery and technological innovation with real-world consequences. Our vision health research tackles the problems of strokes, migraines, brain disorders, autism and visual deficits in Canada's aging population. Vision technology application areas include medical and assistive devices, visual security, search-and-rescue, 3D film, and augmented reality systems used in collaboration with NASA and the aerospace industry.
