Postdoctoral Position in Vision Science

Investigate how eye movements shape perception with Martina Poletti and Michele Rucci at the University of Rochester. Research spans spatial representations, foveal and peripheral processing, attention, retinal anatomy, emmetropization and myopia. The laboratory combines human psychophysics, controlled retinal stimulation, computational modelling, precise eye and head tracking, retinal imaging and EEG during active vision. Researchers work within the Center for Visual Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences, with collaborations in optics, neuroscience and ophthalmology.

Applications comprise a CV, research-interest and achievement statement, and details of two referees, sent to the investigators through the instructions on the laboratory page.

Relevant vision-science background; data-analysis and programming experience; motivation, independence and teamwork. Experience in psychophysics, eye tracking, retinal imaging, modelling, signal processing or EEG is advantageous.
