Colour Perception and Colour Constancy in Authentic and Simulated
Environments

PhD STUDENTSHIP IN VISUAL PERCEPTION AND NEUROSCIENCE

A PhD studentship is available to study how basic elements of scenes
affect colour perception in both authentic and simulated environments.=A0
The successful applicant will investigate how the visual system adjusts
colour perception based on specific aspects of scenes so that the
perceived colours of objects remain relatively stable despite changes
in illumination and in the surrounding objects.=A0 The aim of the =
project
is to describe the human system well enough to begin creating a model
which produces similar performance.

The project is funded by the EPSRC and provides a stipend of =A310,500 =
in
the first year, =A312,000 in the second year, and =A312,300 in the final
year, as well as payment of all tuition fees.=A0 Applicants should have,
or expect to obtain a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours degree
in Engineering, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or a
subject related to vision.=A0 Aptitude and patience for solving somewhat
exploratory and ambiguous problems will be an advantage.
