[visionlist] Postdocs: first-person infant headcam data, active vision, and early development

[Dean D'Souza]

Dear colleagues,
I’m advertising two full-time postdoctoral positions in my lab at Cardiff University.
The project asks how exploration self-organises in the first years of life, using rich first-person head-mounted camera data from infants’ everyday lives.
We are especially interested in how infants actively sample their visual worlds: what they see, how visual input changes with movement, how first-person experience is structured in the home, and how this changes across development.
The project combines naturalistic home-based infant research with experimental methods and multimodal measures, including head-mounted cameras, head-mounted and remote eye tracking, inertial sensors, fNIRS, LENA, and computational modelling.
This would suit someone interested in active vision, egocentric visual experience, naturalistic behaviour, developmental change, and the analysis of rich first-person video and sensor data.
The posts are full-time and fixed term for 1 year in the first instance.
Advert and application details: https://cardiffuniweb.eploy.net/vacancies/790/research-associate.html ;

Application deadline: 7 October 2026
Best wishes,
