Postdoctoral opportunity in Active Vision and EEG at UR Center for Visual Science

A postdoctoral position is available in the Active Perception Laboratory (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__aplab.bcs.rochester.edu&d=DwIFAw&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=BbUeCQOiksaKQZ_bz4weOWPFMTnqMMbA6iDHu7m4tPSDW112Yjpoz4IJWEP0W2Gb&s=hbLAw2fgpc_lsjLtypNvmThRPrIu9eJKPMV7RujyC84&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__aplab.bcs.rochester.edu_&d=DwIFAw&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=BbUeCQOiksaKQZ_bz4weOWPFMTnqMMbA6iDHu7m4tPSDW112Yjpoz4IJWEP0W2Gb&s=VnU0G2iCqf1LxU4_RG3q5PqfYx1QBhDAiGLl7x37yZA&e= >) at the University of Rochester to study the perceptual consequences of eye movements and their interplay with attention. We are specifically looking for candidates with experience in electroencephalography interested in studying active vision. The work will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Martina Poletti and Dr. Michele Rucci.

Research in the laboratory focuses on the interaction between vision and behavior.  Our work relies on the integration of theoretical and experimental approaches to investigate how visual functions unfold in the presence of normal and abnormal motor activity, how vision guides behavior, and how changes in visual input signals and modulations associated with behavior contribute to perception. The laboratory is equipped with a unique array of tools, many developed in-house, to investigate the synergy between visual, motor, and cognitive processes. Approaches include human psychophysics with precisely controlled retinal stimulation, computational modeling, high-resolution measurements of head and eye movements, and retinal imaging (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aplab.bcs.rochester.edu_facilities.html-23&d=DwIFAw&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=BbUeCQOiksaKQZ_bz4weOWPFMTnqMMbA6iDHu7m4tPSDW112Yjpoz4IJWEP0W2Gb&s=lJFYFSlC2wEn7KcBjTz3ATy1nqDUijPjVJoHOHWfLyE&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aplab.bcs.rochester.edu_facilities.html&d=DwIFAw&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=BbUeCQOiksaKQZ_bz4weOWPFMTnqMMbA6iDHu7m4tPSDW112Yjpoz4IJWEP0W2Gb&s=69ieGYm1uKXi-xdYkg58N-MgY_3dkJ1JP-363JKuoOs&e= >).

The ideal candidate would have a strong background in visual perception as evidenced by the publication record, significant experience with EEG experiments, data analysis, and computer programming (C++ preferred).  Candidates with experience in some or all of these areas will be considered.  Motivation and independence are important, as well as the ability to work well in a team.

The University of Rochester offers a highly collaborative and stimulating research environment with excellent opportunities for interactions and training in vision science and neuroscience.  The laboratory is located within the Center for Visual Science (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cvs.rochester.edu_&d=DwIFAw&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=BbUeCQOiksaKQZ_bz4weOWPFMTnqMMbA6iDHu7m4tPSDW112Yjpoz4IJWEP0W2Gb&s=nOqfYHAsg-0PnbRLtsO6gPDZTPl34tFE5pSlniisang&e= ) and the department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.sas.rochester.edu_bcs_&d=DwIFAw&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=BbUeCQOiksaKQZ_bz4weOWPFMTnqMMbA6iDHu7m4tPSDW112Yjpoz4IJWEP0W2Gb&s=sUYEG1y8vMCh7F7esmo0-tZY7m9tKE8nv7UhoI7CdkU&e= ).
