- The University of South Carolina
Two post-doctoral fellowships in visual cognition
Two post-doctoral research positions are available in John Henderson's Visual Cognition Lab at the University of South Carolina. The lab houses state-of-the-art eyetracking facilities including two SR Research Eyelink 2000 eyetrackers, one interfaced with the Psychology Department's 3T Siemens Trio MRI scanner. One of the two positions focuses on attention in high-level vision and visual cognition using eyetracking as the primary measure. The other position will investigate neural correlates of attention and visual cognition using fMRI. This work will also involve recording eye movements in the scanner.
Candidates with a PhD in any of the cognitive sciences broadly defined (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or a related field) are encouraged to apply. For the fMRI post-doc, experience with fMRI experimental design, data collection, and data analysis is necessary, and working knowledge of Matlab is highly desirable. For the behavioral position, programming skills (Matlab or C) and/or familiarity with eyetracking data analysis methods are desirable. Salary will be at NIH post-doctoral rates and commensurate with experience. Initial appointments will be for one or two years with opportunity for extension to three years.
The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The University of South Carolina does not discriminate in educational or employment opportunities or decisions for qualified persons on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or veteran status.
Informal enquiries and formal applications should be addressed to John Henderson (jhenderson.psy@gmail.com). Formal applications should include CV, publication list, brief statement of research interests, and three letters of reference. The positions are available immediately but start date is flexible. Applications will be assessed as they arrive. - University of Western Australia, ARC Center for Cognition and Disorders
