2 PhD Studentships in Applied Eye Movements

=20

Applied Vision Research Unit, University of Derby, UK
=20

Two studentships are available in "Applied Eye Movements". The award =
covers fees and standard EPSRC levels of funding for three years of =
full-time research at the Applied Vision Research Unit (AVRU), =
University of Derby, UK. AVRU has a long track record in eye-movement =
research, and research areas include eye movements in the interpretation =
of medical images, art, driving, and natural scenes.

=20

The studentships cover fees and provide a stipend of =A37500 per annum =
for 3 years. The first studentship is open to all applicants, while the =
second is funded by the EPSRC under the requirement that applicants must =
be UK or EU citizens in order to qualify.

=20

The first studentship is concerned with eye movements made by =
individuals when viewing art. The successful candidate will develop =
his/her own experimental studies, but will also be involved in the =
analysis of data from the world's largest eye-movement experiment, =
conducted by AVRU at the National Gallery in 2001.=20

=20

The second studentship will involve study of eye movements within one or =
more of the current research themes of the Unit, e.g. the interpretation =
of medical images, or vision in driving. In both cases, the successful =
candidate will design experiments and develop methods of data analysis =
and visualisation. He/she will be based at the new dedicated IBS =
laboratories on the University's Kingsway site.

=20

Candidates should hold or expect to obtain a good honours degree and/or =
masters degree in a relevant discipline. The successful candidate will =
be a highly motivated individual with a keen interest in addressing =
applied research issues. While knowledge of Visual Science and/or a =
cognate discipline will be of benefit, candidates from other disciplines =
with interests in this field should certainly consider applying. The =
successful candidate will inevitably have to undertake some computer =
programming in the course of their research and be adept at manipulating =
large amounts of data, and so should possess strong computer skills and =
the desire and ability to learn.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed to:
