POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN VISUAL NEUROSCIENCE
The Center for Perceptual Systems, UT Austin

Postdoctoral position is available to investigate the computational
principles and neurophysiological basis of visual search in natural
scenes. This project involves collaboration between the labs of Dr.
Wilson Geisler and Dr. Eyal Seidemann in the Center for Perceptual
Systems at the University of Texas at Austin. Experimental techniques
include psychophysical studies of eye movements during multi-fixation
search in human and primate subjects, and a powerful combination of
optical imaging (voltage-sensitive dye and intrinsic), single unit
recordings, electrical microstimulation and reversible inactivation in
alert, behaving primates. Computational techniques include Bayesian
statistical decision theory, ideal observer theory and natural scene
statistics. The Center for Perceptual Systems (www.cps.utexas.edu)
offers exceptional facilities and an outstanding interdisciplinary
scientific environment in a collegial atmosphere. Computational
background, programming experience (C/C++/Matlab), and experience with
neurophysiology and/or psychophysics are desirable.
