Connectionists: [post-doc] Neural basis of 3D perception

[Zoe Kourtzi]

Post-doc positions on 3D vision
University of Cambridge

Two post-doc positions are available to work on the neural basis of 3D vision. The project examines the representation of depth information within visually responsive cortex using fMRI, TMS and EEG. We study the representation of binocular disparity signals, the integration of different depth cues and association between neuronal responses and perception.

The successful candidates will join a dynamic international and interdisciplinary team within the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge. The lab is well equipped and the intellectual environment of the Department and wider University outstanding.

Candidates should hold or expect to hold a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics or a related field. Programming skills (e.g. Matlab, C) are essential and experience with brain imaging methods (fMRI, EEG, TMS) is desirable.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Andrew Welchman: andrew at welchman.org<mailto:andrew at welchman.org>

Closing date for applications is 26th October 2013
