[visionlist] Postdoctoral position in Action for Vision at Smith-Kettlewell, San Francisco

[Steve Heinen]

Our laboratory seeks a postdoctoral fellow to be funded by an NEI 
institutional training grant to Smith-Kettlewell, or through an internal 
funding mechanism. We investigate interactions between oculomotor 
systems using naturalistic visual stimuli, with an emphasis on attentive 
and subconscious elements of oculomotor control. Our approach pairs 
visual psychophysics with eye movement recording to elucidate 
sensorimotor signal flow, and ongoing projects use fMRI to investigate 
new perspectives on circuitry underlying these processes.

Smith-Kettlewell is located in San Francisco, a hub of biomedical and 
biotech research. Our location and reputation in vision science affords 
the opportunity for postdocs to collaborate with nearby universities and 
tech companies. San Francisco has many cultural amenities that include 
diverse dining and entertainment venues, and easy access to outdoor 
activities in our many parks and waterways.

The fellowships require a Ph.D. or M.D. and are normally awarded for two 
years. We train our fellows to become independent scientists, and 
encourage them to pursue their own research in collaboration with and 
mentored by our principle investigators. Fellows who demonstrate success 
obtaining external funding can be invited to continue as sponsored 
investigators at the institute. Applications from individuals with 
disabilities or other underrepresented groups are particularly 
encouraged. The NEI Training Grant requires that fellows be US citizens 
or permanent residents, but non-citizens may be eligible for internal 
funding. Note that the position is offered through the Smith-Kettlewell 
fellowship program, which accepts applications to all Institute labs.

Applications will be accepted until January 15, 2018. Additional details 
of the program and application procedures can be found at
