A three-year postdoctoral position is available in the Department of
Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol, U.K. and the
Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London, U.K.
The postdoc will be appointed on the RA1A scale (starting salary
=A320311, currently under review).
The successful applicant will work with Nick Scott-Samuel and Andy
Smith on a BBSRC-funded project entitled "Characterising high-level
motion processing in humans". The project consists of two intertwined
strands: (i) a psychophysical investigation of the properties of
high-level motion processing in human vision, using both Fourier and
non-Fourier stimuli (c.24 months); and (ii) an fMRI study designed to
localise the cortical activity associated with the different levels
of motion processing characterised by the behavioural work (c.12
months). The position will be based in Bristol, and the imaging will
take place at Royal Holloway. There are large vision research groups
at both sites. The Bristol department is an excellent place to carry
out research, with a top rating of 5*A in the most recent Research
Assessment Exercise. It is also a very friendly place to work. For
details of the department, see:
http://psychology.psy.bris.ac.uk/
Applicants should have, or expect to receive shortly, a PhD in a
relevant area, and ideally will be experienced in one or both of the
key areas of the project (i.e. motion psychophysics and imaging).
Knowledge of any or all of the following would be an advantage:
Macintosh computers, Matlab and the Psychophysics Toolbox extensions,
fMRI analysis software.
