RESEARCH ASSOCIATE, VISUAL NEUROSCIENCE
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM
£18,265 - £20,311 pa

Applications are invited for a one year Research Associate position, 
working with Dr Tim Andrews on an EPSRC funded project titled 
'Perceptual Mechanisms Underlying Binocular Rivalry'. This project aims 
to understand how the brain translates images from the two eyes into a 
single, coherent sensation of the world. The phenomenon of perceptual 
rivalry, in which the monocular images do not fuse, offers a unique 
opportunity to investigate this basic visual process. It is not 
surprising, given its significance, that explanations of rivalry remain 
vigorously debated by psychologists, neuroscientists and even philosophers.

Applicants should normally hold, or expect to hold by the appointment 
date, a BSc in Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Vision, AI, or a 
related numerate discipline. Candidates should be enthusiastic about 
vision and should have, or be keen to learn, the skills of graphics 
programming (C, C++), human eye movement measurement, and visual 
psychophysics. The appointment is available from 1st October 2003, for 1 
year. However, it is possible that this position could be offered on a 
part-time basis. Starting salary will be according to qualifications and 
experience. Please direct informal inquiries to Dr. Tim Andrews (tel. 
(0)191- 3340430, (0)191-3343243; or e-mail: tim.Andrews@dur.ac.uk and
