[visionlist] Postdoc in Vision Science at New York University

[Michael S Landy]

 POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

The Center for Neural Science and the Cognition and Perception Program of
the Department of Psychology at New York University have a one-year postdoc
position available, supported by our Visual Neuroscience Training Program.
It is expected that the postdoc in this position will seek funding (e.g.,
an NIH NRSA award) for continuing the position after the first year.
Applicants must have completed the PhD by the date of appointment (no later
than 5/31/26), and must be eligilble for NRSA support (US Citizen or
permanent resident). The position allows for work with any of the training
faculty, including:

Marisa Carrasco - visual attention using psychophysics, TMS, imaging

Clay Curtis - action selection and working memory using imaging and eye
movements

Claude Desplan - color vision in Drosophila using imaging and physiological
approaches

Danique Jeurissen - visually guided behavior, perception and
decision-making using behavior and causal manipulations of parietal activity

Grace Lindsay - visual attention using computational and behavioral
techniques

Biyu Jade He - awareness and conscious/unconscious processing using EEG,
MEG and MRI

David Heeger = computational models of visual processing

Roozbeh Kiani - visually based decision-making using physiological methods
and imaging

Lynne Kiorpes - visual development in nonhuman primates

Michael Landy - sensory cue integration and action using psychophysics and
computational modeling

Wei Ji Ma - decision-making and planning using behavior and computational
modeling

Anthony Movshon - function and development of the visual system using
neurophysiological, neuroimaging, computational, and psychophysical methods

Hannah Payne - interactions between memory and vision studied in
food-caching birds

Denis Pelli - feature integration and object recognition using psychophysics

Eero Simoncelli - computational neuroscience

Alexander Williams - development of computational techniques to look for
patterns in complex neuroscientific data

Jonathan Winawer - function of early visual pathways using psychophysics,
imaging and iEEG

The NYU perception group is world-renowned, with dozens of faculty members
spanning several departments.  It includes research in all areas of vision
science including psychophysics, computational and mathematical modeling
and physiology.

Stipend will follow NIH scale: NOT-OD-25-105: Ruth L. Kirschstein National
Research Service Award (NRSA) Stipends, Tuition/Fees and Other Budgetary
Levels Effective for Fiscal Year 2025 (
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-105.html).

Applicants must have a PhD conferred by 5/31/26 in Neuroscience or related
field. Applicants should first contact a potential mentor before applying
and should specify that mentor in the application. Applications are due by
January 15, 2026. An application should include a CV, sample publications,
and references.
