[visionlist] PhD positions in Vision, University of St. Andrews

[Julie Harris]

PhD studentships are available, for Sept 2013 start, in the Vision Lab at the University of St. Andrews.

Dhanraj Vishwanath would be interested in supervising projects in 3D perception, eye movements, and hand-eye coordination.  Specific areas of current interest include: examining why and how we are able to obtain the qualitative sense of immersion, tangibility and realism in stereopsis (e.g. 3D movies);  why and how we see depth in pictures; hand-eye coordination in human-computer interaction; the links between perception, attention and eye movements.

In Julie Harris's group, PhD projects are available on binocular vision (perceiving depth from binocular disparity using multiple cues to depth) and on the perception of camouflage (specifically how counter-shading, the pattern of dark-light across an animal skin or pelt, makes perception of the animal more difficult).  If you have a specific project in mind, in another area of space or shape perception, or human locomotion, I'd be keen to discuss possible supervision.

Further details of our work can be found on the Vision Lab website:

Funding is competitive, level of funding is partly dependent on your citizenship and UK-residency status. Deadlines are in MID TO LATE JANUARY and require formal submission via University of St. Andrews, but you will need to develop a project outline in conjunction with a supervisor first. In the first instance you should contact Dhanraj (dv10 at st-andrews.ac.uk) or Julie (jh81 at st-andrews.ac.uk) directly.
