[visionlist] Postdoc Position, Eckstein Lab, UC Santa Barbara: Visual Search and Medical Images

[Miguel Eckstein]

The Vision and Image Understanding Laboratory 
<https://viu.psych.ucsb.edu/> (Eckstein Lab), within the Department of 
Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa 
Barbara <https://www.ucsb.edu/>invites applications for an open, 
full-time Postdoctoral Scholar position with an anticipated start date 
of January 2, 2020. The laboratory is looking for individuals with 
particular emphasis in the area of computational modeling, computer 
vision, visual search, eye movements, and medical imaging. The work 
involves understanding eye movements and perceptual strategies during 
visual search with medical images.  The research seeks to answer 
fundamental questions about visual search by humans and machines and 
apply the knowledge to radiological decisions with new imaging 
modalities. The position will be for 1 year, with the possibility of 
renewal depending upon job performance and availability of funds.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Engineering, Computer Science, Medical Physics/Imaging, Mathematics, or 
related a field.

ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Research experience in Computational Neuroscience, Vision Science, 
Computer Engineering, or Applied Mathematics, supported by a strong 
publication record, is required. In addition, the successful candidate 
should have strong technical background including training in 
computational vision and computer programming.

PhD must be conferred by start of appointment.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Applicants with training and experience in a subset of these areas will 
be given priority: visual search modeling. Bayesian ideal observers, 
computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning and deep neural 
networks, computational modeling, model observers for medical imaging, 
and/or medical image processing.

APPLICATION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Applications should be submitted electronically, and must include:
