Laboratory of Michele Rucci
Boston University

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions to study the visual functions of fixational eye movements.

This research will involve: (a) analysis of the impact of eye movements on the statistics of the retinal stimulus, (b) computational modeling of the early visual system during the normal motion of the retinal image, and (c) psychophysical experiments with controlled retinal image motion.  We have developed a system for gaze-contingent display which enables accurate control of retinal stimulation.  See Rucci et al. Nature, 447(7146), 2007, for recent experiments that used this system to stabilize the stimulus on the retina.  These projects will examine the effect of manipulating the fixational motion of the retinal image in a variety of ways in addition to retinal stabilization.

The ideal candidate will have a strong quantitative background.  Experience working in visual neuroscience is preferred, though not a requirement. The candidate’s Ph.D. could be in Neuroscience, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or a related field.  Experience with Matlab, C/C++, signal processing, and DSP programming is desirable. Salary is commensurate with experience.

The Active Perception Laboratory is located within the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems with affiliations in the Departments of Psychology and Biomedical Engineering at Boston University.  Boston University is an exciting environment for postdoctoral study in vision.  The newly established Center for Neuroscience brings together an interactive group of world-class interdisciplinary laboratories. More information on our research can be found at:  http://aplab.bu.edu.

Please send curriculum vitae, brief statement of research interests and accomplishments, and names and contact information of two references to Michele Rucci (rucci@cns.bu.edu).
