Connectionists: PhD positions available at Penn State University

[Brad Wyble]

Dear colleagues and students

Strongly motivated PhD candidates are invited to apply for Ph.D
candidacy in the Department of Psychology at Penn State University’s
main campus in State College, PA. Applicants should ideally have
strong computer programming skills (e.g., two or more years of
experience programming in C, MatLab, Python, or equivalent) and a
background in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science or physics
or biology.  Fluency in English is also required.

The research area will be some combination of visual attention,
computer vision, and computational neuroscience, with a likely
emphasis on understanding the temporal and spatial properties of
visual processing, broadly construed. You can read more about the work
in my lab at http://www.bradwyble.com/Labpage/Home.html.

Penn State main campus offers a diverse array of resources for
conducting research such as the SLEIC neuroimaging center:
http://www.imaging.psu.edu/.  There is also a diverse set of research
interests both within the psychology department, and across the campus
(e.g. Engineering:  http://www.esm.psu.edu/wiki/research:cne:start;
Neuroscience:  http://www.huck.psu.edu/research/neurosciences,
http://cbbc.psu.edu/; Social: http://www.ssri.psu.edu/)

Interested applicants should apply to the Psychology department at
http://psych.la.psu.edu/graduate/howToApply.html and should note that
the deadline for applications is December 1st.
