</font></font></font></font></font>The <a
href="http://cvr.yorku.ca/">Centre for Vision Research</a> (<a
href="http://cvr.yorku.ca/">CVR</a>) at <a
href="http://www.yorku.ca">York University</a></font> in
Toronto, Canada offers a one-week, all-expenses-paid undergraduate
summer school on vision science. This year's program will be held
June 4-8, 2018.<br>
<br>
This year's summer school is being held in cooperation with the <a
href="http://vista.info.yorku.ca/">Vision: Science to Applications
</a>(<a href="http://vista.info.yorku.ca/">VISTA) </a>initiative
that will dramatically increase the number of faculty members and
students engaging in vision research at York University in the
coming years.<br>
<br>
The program includes talks by CVR faculty members on current
research topics in vision science, as well as hands-on experience in
CVR laboratories. The curriculum reflects the wide range of research
areas at CVR, which includes research on human visual perception,
computer vision, machine learning, visual neuroscience, 3D film,
immersive environments, and visual disorders.<br>
<br>
The program accepts undergraduate students who are interested in
pursuing a career in scientific research. It is intended mainly for
students who are planning to apply to graduate school in the fall of
2018 (for entry in fall 2019), and who are interested in
investigating vision science as an area of research. Citizens of all
countries are eligible. The application deadline is March 1, 2018.<br>
<br>
The program covers all transportation costs and provides on-campus
accommodation and meals.<br>
<br>
Application instructions are available on the <a
href="http://www.yorku.ca/cvrss/">CVR summer school website</a>.
The application deadline is March 1, 2018, and applicants will be
notified of decisions by March 15, 2018. We expect to accept between
30 and 40 students.<br>
<br>
