<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">I am looking for a post-doctoral trainee to join our team ( <a href="http://www.wilcoxlab.yorku.ca/"><span style="color:#0563C1">Wilcox Lab</span></a>) at York University in Toronto, to study how we see depth in, and interact with, complex natural scenes using physical stimuli and virtual/augmented reality. The project will involve creative 3D psychophysical experimentation and the exciting opportunity to engage in parallel imaging studies in collaboration with Dr. Jody Culham at Western University. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">The ideal person has some experience with binocular viewing geometry, and depth perception, and is familiar with psychophysical methods, programming and rendering software
(e.g. Blender). Strong mathematical, statistical and/or technical skills would be an advantage, as would some knowledge of current imaging techniques. However, some combination of these, together with being a quick, enthusiastic learner will go a long way!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
