Postdoctoral position in computational vision

[Lucia M. Vaina]

Postdoctoral Position at Boston University : Learning Invariance 
for  Recognition

A postdoctoral position funded by  NSF is open  immediately for 
research in  modeling the neural mechanisms  underlying  learning 
invariance  in the  visual  system at several levels of resolution. 
This  position is part of a multi-university   research team  (St. 
Andrews University, Scotland and the Weizmann Institute of Science 
Israel) investigating  invariance learning  through  a combination 
of  computational modeling and visual psychophysics.

	Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree.  A strong 
background in mathematics, physics, or computer science  and a 
background in visual neuroscience  are  required. Experience   with 
computational  modeling  in vision using  matlab and/or C 
programming is a plus. The post is for one year initially, with the 
possibility  of renewal.  The salary will  be determined by  the 
experience-appropriate  level on NIH stipend  scale. US citizenship 
is not required

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and interdisciplinary 
group of scientists  performing  cutting-edge  research on  human 
vision,  using psychophysics, functional a, neurology, and 
computational modeling.
