[vslist] Post-doctoral training fellowship in visual science

[Michele Schultz]

The Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester is 
seeking applicants for a post-doctoral training fellowship in visual 
science.  CVS is an interdisciplinary center that brings together 
faculty from cognitive science, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, 
optics and computer science who are interested in a wide range of 
topics within vision science. The Center has broad areas of strength 
in computational modeling, psychophysics, neurophysiology and brain 
imaging. Faculty apply these approaches to topics including 
physiological optics, visual coding (e.g. of visual motion), 3D 
perception, the visual control of motor behavior and complex actions, 
visual attention, learning and memory, and visual development. 
Faculty and postdocs have access to numerous state-of-the-art 
technical resources including adaptive optics systems for correcting 
optical aberrations and imaging the human retina, several virtual 
reality systems, facilities for physiological recording in awake, 
behaving animals and a new 3-Tesla magnet devoted to fMRI research in 
brain and cognitive sciences. Interested applicants can find more 
information about CVS at http://www.cvs.rochester.edu. The successful 
candidate will work with the selection committee to select an 
appropriate faculty mentor. Candidates are encouraged to contact 
faculty with whom they are interested in working to help prepare 
their application. Applicants should send a CV, a statement of 
research interests and three letters of recommendation to Michele 
Schultz, University of Rochester, 274 Meliora Hall, Rochester, NY 
14627-0270, or michele@cvs.rochester.edu.
