[visionlist] post doc position at UT Austin

[Wilson S Geisler]

Subject: POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN VISION SCIENCE



Center for Perceptual Systems, University of Texas at Austin



I am seeking applications for a postdoctoral position in my lab. Research
in the lab is based on the fundamental principle that vision systems are
matched to the tasks the organism performs in its natural environment.
The research involves measuring the statistical properties of natural
stimuli, performing computational and mathematical analyses to determine
how a visual system should exploit those properties to perform its tasks,
and then using those computational analyses to formulate principled
hypotheses which are tested in psychophysical and neurophysiological
experiments.  Current projects include developing and testing theories of
(1) object-identification accuracy, (2) fixation-search time and accuracy,
(3) depth and motion estimation, (4) 3D-surface-orientation estimation, and
(5) perceptual grouping.



The Center for Perceptual Systems (http://www.cps.utexas.edu) and the
Institute for Neuroscience at UT Austin (http://www.neuroscience.utexas.edu)
offer excellent facilities, an outstanding interdisciplinary scientific
environment, a strong vision community and a very collegial atmosphere.
Austin is an affordable city and is widely considered one of the most
beautiful and livable cities in the US.


Experience in psychophysics, computational/statistical analysis, and
computer programming would be considered a plus.  Please send CV, statement
of research interests, and the names of three references to
w.geisler at utexas.edu.
