[visionlist] Postdoctoral position available in the group of Felix Wichmann, Tübingen, Germany

[Felix Wichmann]

A Postdoctoral position is available to join the group of Felix Wichmann at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany (www.wichmannlab.org). 

The successful candidate will work on early vision with an emphasis on nonlinear computations underlying the encoding of visual information in the human visual system.  Apart from conducting psychophysical experiments, the candidate is expected to perform computational modelling. The  position is funded by a BBVA Foundation grant in collaboration with Marcelo Bertalmío (Madrid) and Jesús Malo (Valencia).

The ideal candidate would have a strong background in psychophysics and computational modelling of human vision. Good programming skills are a requirement, preferably in Python and/or MATLAB. Knowledge of deep learning or other machine learning methods would be a plus, as are excellent communication and writing skills. A doctoral degree in psychology or related discipline is a prerequisite.

The Tübingen vision science, neuroscience and machine learning scene is vibrant, with many excellent labs and institutions within walking or cycling distance. The Wichmann-lab is well integrated into this research landscape and offers the candidate ample opportunities for collaborations (see "Affiliations" on www.wichmannlab.org). In addition, we have ample funds for research visits to Madrid and Valencia.

If you are interested, I look forward to hearing from you.

The review of applications will start on November 15th, 2024. Starting date is flexible, but sooner is preferred over later. The position is for a fixed term of two years.

Informal enquiries as well as application materials should be emailed directly to Felix Wichmann at felix.wichmann at uni-tuebingen.de . Applications should contain a CV, a brief statement of research interests, a cover letter with the expected date of availability and the names of three referees.
