[visionlist] Scholarships (Masters and PhD) for depth from visual motion research

[John Perrone]

Scholarships for study in New Zealand (Depth from motion).



Masters and PhD Scholarships are available to study in the School of
Psychology at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.
http://www.waikato.ac.nz/



Applications are invited from suitable graduate students who would like to
be involved in a research project that is tackling the age-old question of
how the brain extracts depth from visual motion.  The project is funded by
a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden fund grant to Associate Professor
John Perrone. The research team also includes Professor Rich Krauzlis
(National Eye Institute, NIH, USA), Professor Ken Britten (UC Davis, USA)
and Dr Leland Stone (NASA Ames).



Scholarships are available to support a 1 year Masters thesis program at
Waikato University (NZ$12,000 + $4000 to cover fees) and a PhD program
(NZ$25,000 + $4000 towards fees per annum over 3 years.)



Potential Masters thesis students should meet the entry requirements for
the degree (see http://www.waikato.ac.nz/wfass/qualifications/msocsc/) and
have a general background in experimental psychology or neuroscience and
some knowledge of motion and depth perception.  PhD students would be
expected to have a similar background but candidates with computer
modelling experience will also be considered since the project involves
both psychophysical testing and computer simulations.  They also need to
meet the requirements for entry into a PhD program at Waikato (see
http://www.waikato.ac.nz/wfass/qualifications/phd-mphil/).



 Enquires and applications should be sent to:  Associate Professor John
Perrone, jpnz at waikato.ac.nz



 Closing date: April 30th, 2012.
