[visionlist] Research Positions in Active Vision

[Martina Poletti]

The Active Perception Laboratory <http://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/> (PIs:
Martina Poletti & Michele Rucci) has openings at multiple levels for
studying visual processing and visuomotor integration in humans.  The
laboratory recently relocated to the University of Rochester and is part of
the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences
<http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/graduate/>, the Department of Neuroscience
<https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neuroscience.aspx>, and the Center for
Visual Science <https://www.cvs.rochester.edu/>.


Research in the laboratory relies on multiple techniques, including testing
of visual functions with highly controlled retinal stimulation,
computational modeling of the visual system, and analysis of the visual
input signals caused by normal and abnormal motor activity.  The laboratory
is equipped with state-of-the-art tools for high-resolution recording of
head and eye movements, EEG recordings, and for precisely manipulating the
stimulus on the retina during motor behavior.  Examples of recent findings
from the laboratory can be found in Boi et al Curr Biol, 2017
<http://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%2817%2930332-9>
 and Poletti et al Nat Neurosci, 2017
<https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4622>.  See Rucci & Victor, Trends
Neurosci 2015
<http://www.cell.com/trends/neurosciences/abstract/S0166-2236%2815%2900017-X>
 and Rucci & Poletti, Annu Rev Vision Sci, 2015
<http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-vision-082114-035742> for
recent reviews of our work. A full list of our publications can be found on
the lab web site.


We are looking for highly motivated candidates preferably with quantitative
background and demonstrated interest in applying quantitative methods to
neuroscience. Experience working in visual perception is preferred, though
not a requirement. Experience with signal processing, Matlab, and C/C++ is
desirable.


Please send curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and
accomplishments, and names of two references to Martina Poletti and Michele
Rucci (Martina_Poletti at urmc.rochester.edu, mrucci at ur.rochester.edu).  Doctoral
applicants should submit their applications via the Neuroscience Graduate
Program
<https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/education/graduate/phd/neurosciences/faculty.aspx>
and/or
the Graduate program in Brain & Cognitive Sciences
<http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/graduate/>.
