<p>A postdoctoral position is available in the <a
href="http://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/index.html">Active
Perception Laboratory</a> at the University of Rochester to
study the contributions of eye movements to the establishment of
spatial representations and the encoding of visual information. <br>
<br>
Research in the laboratory relies on the integration of multiple
techniques for studying human vision within the context of motor
behavior. Approaches include visual psychophysics under
controlled retinal stimulation and during disruption of the
visuomotor loop, computational modeling of the early visual
pathways, and analysis of the retinal input signals caused by
normal and abnormal motor activity. The laboratory is equipped
with a unique combination of facilities (several developed in the
laboratory) for high-resolution recording of head and eye
movements, real-time control of the visual flow on the retina
during eye movements, retinal imaging, virtual reality, and EEG
measurements. <br>

The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated individual with
experience in vision science and data analysis and the ability to
work well in a team. A quantitative background and demonstrated
interest in applying quantitative methods to neuroscience is
preferable. Experience with signal processing, C++, computer
graphics, and real-time control is a plus. <br>
<br>
The Active Perception Laboratory is part of the Center for Visual
Science at the University of Rochester, a center with a long history
of fundamental accomplishments in vision science. CVS is composed
by more than 35 research laboratories creating a vibrant and highly
collaborative scientific community. <br>
<p> To apply, please send curriculum vitae, brief statement of
research interests and accomplishments, and names of two
