*Postdoctoral position in high-resolution retinal imaging and
video-eyetracking at the University of Rochester*



The Active Perception Laboratory <http://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/> is
looking

for a postdoctoral fellow to work with an Adaptive Optics Scanning Light
Ophtalmoscope (AOSLO) to measure the structure of the human retina,
oculomotor behavior and conduct psychophysics experiments. We are
particularly interested in recruiting candidates interested in
investigating the roles of eye movements in visual perception, the
spatiotemporal dynamics of foveal and extrafoveal processing, the interplay
between eye movements, retinal anatomy, and attention.


Research in the laboratory focuses on the interaction between vision and
oculomotor behavior. Our work relies on the integration of theoretical and
experimental approaches to investigate how visual functions unfold in the
presence of normal and abnormal motor activity, how vision guides behavior,
and how changes in visual input signals and modulations associated with
behavior contribute to perception. The laboratory is equipped with a unique
array of tools, many developed in-house, to investigate the synergy between
visual, motor, and cognitive processes (
https://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/facilities.html#
<https://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/facilities.html>). Approaches include
human psychophysics with precisely controlled retinal stimulation,
computational modeling, precise measurements of head and eye movements,
high-resolution retinal imaging, and electroencephalography (EEG) during
active vision.  A full list of our publications can be found at
https://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/publications.html.

The ideal candidate would have a strong interest in vision science, a
background in related areas, and experience with data analysis and computer
programming. Background in vision science and previous experience working
with ophthalmoscopy,

adaptive optics, image processing, optical design and real-time software
are desirable. Ability to work well in a team is essential, as well as the
capability to work independently when needed.



The University of Rochester offers a highly collaborative and stimulating
research environment with excellent opportunities for interactions and
training in vision science and neuroscience.  The laboratory is located
within the Center for Visual Science (http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/) and
the department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences (
http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/). Ongoing collaborations at the
University of Rochester include the Flaum Eye Institute (
https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/eye-institute.aspx) the Institute of Optics (
http://www.hajim.rochester.edu/optics/) and the department of Neuroscience (
https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neuroscience.aspx)

To apply, please send curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests
and accomplishments, and the names of two references to Martina Poletti (
martina_poletti at urmc.rochester.edu) and Michele Rucci (
mrucci at ur.rochester.edu).
