Postdoctoral Position at UCLA+Caltech

[Ladan Shams]

Postdoctoral Position in Multisensory Perception
UCLA and Caltech

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study issues in 
multisensory perception. The research involves psychophysics 
methodology possibly combined with fMRI and/or statistical modeling. 
The projects will aim to unravel the interactions between visual, 
auditory, and tactile perceptual processes at various levels of inquiry 
ranging from phenomenology, to underlying brain mechanisms, to the 
governing computational principles. The successful candidate will have 
a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Engineering or a 
related field. Some experience in Psychophysics is required, and any 
experience in fMRI or modeling will be a strong advantage. Expertise in 
Matlab and/or C in a Mac or UNIX environment is highly desirable.

The research will be performed primarily in the laboratory of Ladan 
Shams at UCLA (http://vmpl.psych.ucla.edu), and partly in the 
laboratory of Shinsuke Shimojo at Caltech (http://neuro.caltech.edu). 
Thus, the successful candidate will be affiliated with both UCLA and 
Caltech. Salary is according to the NIH scale. The initial appointment 
will be for one year and may be extended for a second or third year. 
The starting date is September 2003 (but somewhat flexible).

Please send inquiries or CVs plus the names of 3 references to: Ladan 
Shams (ladan at caltech.edu)
