Computational Vision/Visual Cognition. The Department of Psychology and the 
Cognitive Science Program at Michigan State University invite applications 
for a tenure-system position at the rank of Assistant or Associate 
Professor. We are seeking candidates who study vision or visual cognition 
by combining computational modeling or hardware implementation with 
behavioral, psychophysical, and/or cognitive neuroscience techniques. The 
successful candidate will be appointed by Psychology, the tenure home 
department, and will be affiliated with the Cognitive Science Program and a 
newly funded NSF IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education and Research 
Training) grant in cognitive science (http://cogsci.msu.edu/). We encourage 
applications from individuals pursuing research questions in areas such as 
(but not limited to) visual attention, eye movement control, visually 
guided action, spatial navigation, object recognition, and scene 
perception. Women and minority-group candidates are strongly urged to 
apply. The individual must have a strong research program capable of 
attracting extramural support. The position begins August 16, 2002 (pending 
final administrative approval). Salary and rank will depend on the 
candidate's qualifications and experience. Review of applications will 
begin March 1, 2002 and continue until a suitable candidate is identified.
