  1.  Tadin lab postdoctoral position.
  2. A postdoctoral position to conduct behavioral, TMS and fMRI studies of visual perception and attention is available in Dr. Duje Tadin’s lab at the Center for Visual Sciences, University of Rochester. Initial appointment is for one year, with possible extensions. Start date must be before 8/31/2009.
  3. Tadin lab uses psychophysics, TMS, fMRI, and eye-tracking to investigate neural mechanisms of visual perception in normal and special populations. Current projects are focused on motion perception, visual adaptation, binocular rivalry, contextual interactions, perceptual learning, visual working memory and attention.
  4. Essential requirements:
  5. - strong research background
  6. - strong programming skills (MATLAB/Psychtoolbox preferred)
  7. - experience with psychophysics
  8. - a PhD and/or MD (either completed or expected in 2009)
  9. Highly preferred qualifications:
  10. - background in vision research or related fields
  11. - strong computational skills
  12. - experience with fMRI, TMS and/or eye-tracking
  13. - experience with and/or interest in collaborative, multi-method research approaches
  14. To apply, send CV, one paragraph research statement and names of 3 references to: duje@cvs.rochester.edu.  Initial salary will be funded by an NEI training grant and will follow NIH guidelines.  Applicants must be US Citizens or Permanent Residents.  Prospective applicants are encouraged to email Dr. Tadin with any questions.

  1.   CVS Postdoctoral Position:
  2. Qualified candidates (US citizens or permanent residents) are eligible to considered for a CVS  postdoctoral training grant. See below for details:
  3. 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. Applicants should include a CV, a statement of research interests and three letters of recommendation. 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.
