Applications are invited for the above post to work with Professor Alan Johnston, Professor Paul McGraw and Dr Neil Roach on a Leverhulme Trust funded project entitled “An adaptable geometry for visual space perception”. The project will use psychophysical
methods to investigate the fundamental question of how we gain a sense of spatial dimension. We will exploit adaptation paradigms that alter the perception of visual spatial separation, size and regularity, supported by computational modelling.</p>

Candidates should have a completed or submitted PhD in Visual Perception or a related discipline by the time of appointment and have a first class or high 2.1 undergraduate degree in Psychology or related discipline. The ideal candidate will have excellent
knowledge of psychophysical methods, good programming and data analysis skills and an interest in applying mathematical concepts to vision science. </p>
