[Miguel Eckstein]

The Vision & Image Understanding Laboratory 
<http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/viu/> (Eckstein lab) & the Attention 
Laboratory 
<http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/labs/giesbrecht/Attention_Lab/Welcome.html> 
(Giesbrecht Lab) in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences 
at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for 
a position as a post-doctoral researcher in functional magnetic 
resonance imaging (fMRI) of perception, attention, learning and decision 
making. The successful candidate will participate in projects at the 
in-house Brain Imaging Center and Institute for Collaborative 
Biotechnologies (ICB, http://www.icb.ucsb.edu/) integrating 
computational modeling and psychophysics with computational approaches 
to neuroimaging. This is an initial one year position with the 
possibility for renewable annually. The post-doctoral researcher will 
also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of ongoing 
neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience activities sponsored by the Sage 
Center for the Study of the Mind (http://www.sagecenter.ucsb.edu/) and 
the UC Davis/UCSB Summer Institute in Cognitive Neuroscience 
<http://sicn.cmb.ucdavis.edu/events/2013-summer-institute-in-cognitive-neuroscience> 
held almost annually at UC Santa Barbara.

Requirements: The successful candidate should have a strong technical 
background and a Ph.D. in any of the following: Neuroscience, Cognitive 
Neuroscience, Vision Science, Perceptual Psychology, Engineering or 
related fields. Training and experience with vision-based fMRI 
techniques including retinotopic mapping (_and ideally population 
receptive fields_) and programming (e.g., MatLab), training and research 
experience in visual psychophysics and computational modeling 
preferable. The department is especially interested in candidates who 
can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community 
through research, teaching and service.
