[vslist] postdoct in visual development

[Karen Dobkins]

NIH Postdoctoral Position Available

******************************************************
Visual Development in Human Infants
Laboratory of Karen Dobkins, UC San Diego
******************************************************

	A postdoctoral position is available in the Psychology
Department at UC San Diego, in the laboratory of Professor Karen
Dobkins. Work in the laboratory focuses on development and plasticity
of visual processing in human infants, which we address using
psychophysical techniques.  The laboratory also studies a variety of
issues in vision science, including the effects of auditory
deprivation and sign language experience on visual processing in deaf
adults.  Psychophysics and fMRI are employed.
	The Vision Group at UC San Diego has a large, active
community of neuroscientists and psychophysicists (including
researchers at the Salk and Scripps Institute), providing a lively
local research environment.  San Diego is also beautiful and diverse
city, perched on the sea and close to the mountains, desert and
Mexico.

Useful background for this position includes psychophysics,
neuroscience, and fMRI.  Knowledge in computer programming,
especially Matlab, is highly desirable. The position is funded for at
least two years.

Please provide a CV, letter of intent, and the names and email
addresses of 2-4 references to:
