York post, see application details here: St. Andrews post, see application details here:
One post, at St. Andrews, will involve designing and running human psychophysical and eye movement experiments on 3D motion perception. The post-holder will also be responsible for presenting the work at international conferences and preparing manuscripts for submission to leading journals.
The other post, at York, will focus on measuring neural correlates of 3D motion perception. This will include fMRI, EEG and TMS. As at St Andrews, the post holder will be involved in the design, execution, analysis and publication of experiments.
Candidates should have a good first degree in a relevant discipline, and a PhD, ideally in human vision or cognitive neuroscience (those holding qualifications in cognate disciplines will be considered). Experience of scientific programming, ideally for visual psychophysics experiments, functional neuroimaging, eye movement studies or cognitive neuroscience, is essential (preferably using Matlab). Experience of designing and running visual motion experiments will be highly desirable, as will experience of publishing in high profile scientific journals. All members of the project team will travel regularly to meet with collaborators. The project is funded via the BBSRC.
Informal enquiries can be directed to Professors Julie Harris (jh81@st-andrews.ac.uk) or Alex Wade (wade@wadelab.net).
These are a fixed term positions for 3 years.
Each of the positions is advertised by its host University, so there is a separate formal application process, and separate application deadlines for each. If you wish to apply for both posts, you must apply twice, once to each University. Deadlines: St Andrews position: Sept 10th 2014 York position: Sept 29th 2014 |
