<p class="MsoNormal">One Postdoctoral is available in Dr. Komogortsev’s lab starting August 2021.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Duties and Responsibilities:</u> help in advancing the following vision: “push forward eye movement-driven biometrics as person recognition, health assessment, and emotion detection platform in the future virtual and augmented reality
devices by creating eye tracking sensors, gaze estimation and prediction algorithms, eye movement classification algorithms, feature extraction and selection algorithms”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other responsibilities might include mentoring Ph.D. students and assisting in writing external funding proposals.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Qualifications:</u> The candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree either in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a closely related area and a track record in scientific research. Good English proficiency is a necessary
prerequisite. Good programing skills in such languages as MATLAB, C/C++, C# are expected. Previous experience with eye movement/virtual reality/mathematics/machine learning/signal processing research is a plus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An important understanding here is that those positions are really very interdisciplinary and thus people who are interested in oculomotor plant modeling, motor control, and modeling brain function and applying this knowledge to such practical
domains as person recognition and health assessment are welcome to apply.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Application</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Documents Required (pdf):</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Letter of interest (1 page). Explain what aspect of the vision provided above you are interested in advancing and why.
<br>
- Research statement (1 page). Explain how your qualifications can benefit what you want to do.<br>
- Curriculum vitae<br>
- List of 3 professional references w/contact information.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Dr. Komogortsev’s short bio:</b> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Komogortsev is currently a Professor of Computer Science at Texas State University. He was previously a faculty or a scientist at such institutions as Johns Hopkins University, Notre Dame University, Michigan State University, and Facebook.
Dr. Komogortsev conducts research in eye tracking with a focus on health assessment, cyber security (biometrics), bioengineering, human computer interaction, and usability. This work has thus far yielded multitude of publications and patents.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Komogortsev’s research was covered by the national media including NBC News, Discovery, Yahoo, Livesience and others. Dr. Komogortsev is a recipient of four Google and two Facebook faculty research awards. Dr. Komogortsev has also won
National Science Foundation CAREER award and Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Barack Obama on the topic of cybersecurity with the emphasis on eye movement-driven biometrics and health assessment. In addition,
his research is supported by the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health, National Institute of Standards, Sigma Xi the Scientific Research Society, and various industrial sources. Dr. Komogortsev’s current grand vision is to push forward
eye movement-driven biometrics as person recognition and health assessment platform in the future virtual and augmented reality devices.</p>
