[visionlist] Post-doctoral position to study Visual Development and Recovery from Amblyopia

[Terri Lewis]

Post-doctoral position to study Visual Development and Recovery from  
Amblyopia

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions on human  
visual development in the lab of Drs. Daphne Maurer and Terri Lewis.  
We are looking for individuals interested in charting the development  
of vision, including low-level vision, higher level processing of  
objects and faces and cross-modal perception, in visually normal  
children, in children with a history of visual deprivation from  
cataracts, and in adults with synaesthesia. These positions will be  
connected to the BrainCPR network of the James S. McDonnell Foundation  
investigating residual plasticity in the adult brain and its  
usefulness in rehabilitating adult visual deficits. Through the  
network, the post-doctoral fellows have an unusual opportunity to be  
part of cutting edge research on visual plasticity and to work on  
improving the vision of adults with residual deficits caused by  
congenital cataracts. They will also have the opportunity to interact  
with labs headed by Dr. Daphne Bavelier (Geneva), Takao Hensch  
(Harvard), Dennis Levi (Berkley), Donald Mitchell (Dalhousie), and  
Bruce McCandliss (Vanderbilt).

Knowledge of vision, psychophysical techniques, Matlab, and  
Psychtoolbox would be an asset. Starting date is flexible.

To apply, please send a letter of interest and CV to the address below  
and arrange for three confidential letters of reference to be sent to  
the same address.
