Post-doc fellowship with Benoit Cottereau on computational neurosciences
and stereoscopic vision

Centre de Recherche Cerveau et Cognition, Toulouse, France

Starting date: September – December 2015

A postdoctoral research position is available to work with Benoit
Cottereau (CNRS Researcher) in the ECO-3D team of the CerCo laboratory
(Toulouse, http://www.cerco.ups-tlse.fr/?lang=en). The aim of the project
is to develop new models of stereoscopic vision in primate that
automatically become selective to the most frequently occurring 3D
properties of their visual environment (e.g. 3D motion direction). These
models will possibly be validated through experimental data (psychophysics
and brain imaging in both human and non-human primates).

The applicant should hold a solid background in computational
neurosciences, signal processing as well as skills in programming.
Knowledge on vision in primate would be highly appreciated.

The city of Toulouse is an attractive city with high quality of life
located in the south west of France (close to the Pyrenees, the
Mediterranean sea and the Spanish border).

The position is for 18 months with standard French salaries. Applications
should be sent to benoit.cottereau at cerco.ups-tlse.fr including a CV and 2
names of references.
