[vslist] post-doctoral position - psychophysics

[Anthony Hayes]

Postdoctoral Position - 3 years
Visual Psychophysics
Department of Psychology, University of Hong Kong

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in visual
perception.  The successful applicant will join a new vision laboratory
in the Psychology Department at the University of Hong Kong.   The
position is available for three years with the possibility of renewal,
and offers good prospects for further career development.

A PhD in vision research and/or experience in a vision-research or
other sensory systems-neuroscience laboratory, coupled with
experience of psychophysical methods, is highly desirable.  Applicants
will be considered who have a PhD in experimental psychology,
engineering, cognitive science, neuroscience, or an area related to
vision science.  An interest in visual psychophysics, and good
computer-programming skills are essential.

Applicants who do not meet all of the above requirements, but who
have strengths in some areas, or who have the enthusiasm,
willingness, and aptitude, to develop the required skills, will also be
considered.

Annual salary is in the range HK$378,240 - 497,580 ($HK1 = $US7.8).

Hong Kong is a fascinating cosmopolitan city situated in South China, a
single-flight's distance from Europe, North America, Australia, and,
of course, the rest of China and Asia.   Vision science is a growing area
of research in Asia (see e.g., Frans Verstraten's recent article "Vision
scientists go (far) east" in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 5(12) Dec 2001,
507-508), and several new vision labs have recently been established
in Hong Kong.  The University of Hong Kong is a good place to do research
- research-support facilities are excellent, and funding is readily available.

For details contact Associate Professor Anthony Hayes
(ahayes@hku.hk).  Deadline for applications is June 14th.  Application
procedures can be found under "employment" on the University of
Hong Kong's website.
