[Daniel Bub]

A postdoctoral fellowship in Cognitive Neuroscience is available at the
University of Victoria, for a minimum of one year with a strong possibility
of renewal for a further term.  This position is affiliated with the
Perceptual Expertise Network, which is sponsored by the McDonnell
Foundation.  The successful applicant will have the opportunity to interact
with the members of this network.  We seek an individual with excellent
research ability in one or more of the following areas relevant to the
question of how perceptual processes interact with higher level knowledge,
especially knowledge leading to perceptual expertise: face recognition and
memory for individuals, the understanding of emotions and facial
expressions, object recognition in relation to action or functional
knowledge, conceptual expertise and its effects on perception, and the
interaction between orthography and visual word recognition.  The position
will begin as soon as the successful candidate is identified.  For further
enquiries, please contact Daniel Bub (dbub at uvic.ca).
