3 salaried PhD positions Vrije Universiteit, Cognitive Psychology, =
Amsterdam, Netherlands

=20

PhD Project 1: The endogenous and exogenous control of eye movements.=20

During search for information people make numerous eye movements. The =
aim of the present project is to develop a neurobiological plausible =
model for eye movement control. Some experience with computer =
programming and computational modeling is necessary. =20

=20

PhD Project 2: The neurocognition of visual selection

Visual selection can occur on the basis of location or other properties =
like color, size, and shape. The aim of the present project is to =
determine how attention modulates spatial and non-spatial (feature) =
representations. Various brain-imaging techniques will be used like =
event-related fMRI and event-related potentials (ERP). Some experience =
with computer programming as well as experience with brain-imaging =
techniques is necessary.

=20

PhD Project 3: Selective attention and eye movements=20

Selection occurs through the allocation of attention and eye movements. =
The aim of the present project is to determine what sort of information =
(for example features or whole objects) controls the allocation of =
attention and eye movements. Experiments will be conducted measuring =
reaction times and eye movements. Some experience with programming and =
computational modeling is required.

=20
Requirements:=20
The candidate has (or will have in the near future) a degree in =
experimental/cognitive psychology, physics, informatics, biology, or a =
similar degree. The candidate has a strong interest in experimental =
research in the area of visual perception and attention; expertise in =
methods of research; experience with empirical research and computer =
programming; excellent ability to write and read English.=20

=20

The candidate will be appointed during a period of four years. At the =
end of the four years, a dissertation should be finished.

=20

Payment: According to the regulations for scientific personnel in the =
first year Euro 1501 per month to Euro 2143 per month in the fourth year =
(with a fulltime appointment).

=20

Information: More information about the above projects can be acquired =
with Jan Theeuwes; email: j.theeuwes@psy.vu.nl. See also our website: =

Applications (with detailed CV) should send before March 28, 2003 by =
email to J.Theeuwes@psy.vu.nl
