We are looking for a postdoc.

Where? Boston, MA

Who? Jeremy Wolfe and Todd Horowitz
	 Harvard Medical School & Brigham and Women's Hospital
	Website: http://search.bwh.harvard.edu/

Area? Visual Attention

Our lab has interests in
1) Visual search: including
a. Preattentive processing
b. Guidance and deployment of visual attention
c. Memory for rejected distractors in visual search

2) "Post-attentive vision"
a. memory for previously attended items
b. picture memory (and/or "gist" memory)

3) The relationship of different aspects of attention including
a. Covert selective attention
b. Overt deployments of the eyes
c. "Commanded" deployments of attention
d. Attentional tracking (e.g. multielement visual tracking)

4) Task demands in visual search
a. What happens if targets are very rare?
b. What happens if you don't get accurate feedback?
c. How long does top-down information take to have an effect?

The person we are looking

1) Is probably trained in cognitive psychology, vision science, or some
comparable area.
2) Has a background or strong interest in experimental research.
3) Is a productive researcher.
4) Expertise in an neighboring area (e.g. memory, vision science, signal
detection theory) would be a plus.

PS: The lab is Mac-based and we tend to program in Matlab / Psychtoolbox
