[vslist] Job posting: Post-Doctoral Position

[Adriane Seiffert]

Post-Doctoral Research Position
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University

A full-time, postdoctoral position is available to study the role of 
the visual attention in motion perception, tracking and control of 
moving objects as part of the Seiffert lab in the Department of 
Psychology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.  The 
project is designed to investigate how visual attention tracks object 
movement, the source of errors made during attentional tracking, and 
the relationship between tracking and the perception of control during 
the active manipulation of objects.  The lab uses a combination of 
techniques including psychophysics, traditional cognitive experiments, 
functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and brain stimulation (TMS).

The successful candidate should have experience in vision science, 
cognitive psychology, computer programming, and/or functional 
neuroimaging, but these skills are not required.  Candidates with 
experience studying motor performance or the neural basis of motor 
control, but with an interest in studying visual perception, will also 
be considered.  Vanderbilt University has an active Vision Research 
Center (VVRC) and a strong Cognitive and Integrative Neuroscience 
Center (CICN).  In addition, the Vanderbilt Post Doctoral Association 
is a very supportive group that helps postdoctoral fellows gain 
information about managing a lab, preparing for job interviews, writing 
grants and other useful skills.

Please send a one-page research statement describing your goals and 
interests, a CV, 3 letters of reference and examples of recent 
publications to Adriane Seiffert, Princeton University, Department of 
Psychology, Green Hall, Princeton, NJ, 08544.  Applications will be 
accepted until May 5, 2004.  The starting date is September 2004 with a 
duration of 2 years.  Salary will be commensurate with experience. 
Vanderbilt University is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to 
excellence through diversity. Note that Dr. Seiffert will be available 
to talk to potential candidates at the upcoming SFN meeting in New 
Orleans (email: adriane_seiffert@yahoo.com).
