[vslist] Post-doctoral position at Vanderbilt University

[Adriane Seiffert]

Post-Doctoral Research Position
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University

A full-time, postdoctoral position is available to study the role of 
the visual attention in motion perception, tracking and control of 
moving objects as part of the Motion, Attention and Control lab in the 
Department of Psychology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, 
Tennessee.  Research in the lab aims to understand how visual attention 
interacts with motion perception and visuo-motor systems to track the 
motion of target objects. The lab uses a combination of techniques 
including psychophysics, traditional cognitive experiments, and 
functional neuroimaging (fMRI). For more information contact the lab 
director, Professor Adriane Seiffert at adriane_seiffert at yahoo.com

The successful candidate should have experience in vision science, 
cognitive psychology, computer programming, and/or functional 
neuroimaging, but these skills are not required. Candidates with 
experience studying motor performance or the neural basis of motor 
control, but with an interest in studying visual perception, will also 
be considered. Vanderbilt University has an active Vision Research 
Center (VVRC) and a strong Cognitive and Integrative Neuroscience 
Center (CICN). In addition, the Vanderbilt Post Doctoral Association is 
a very supportive group that helps postdoctoral fellows gain 
information about managing a lab, preparing for job interviews, writing 
grants and other useful skills.

Please send a one-page research statement describing your goals and 
interests, a CV, 3 letters of reference and examples of recent 
publications to Adriane Seiffert, Princeton University, Department of 
Psychology, Green Hall, Princeton, NJ, 08544. 

This is a two-year position starting September 2004. Salary will be 
commensurate with experience. Vanderbilt University is an Equal 
Opportunity Employer committed to excellence through diversity.
