Postdoctoral Position: Active Viewing of Dynamic Scenes
Psychology Department
University of Edinburgh
A two-year postdoctoral research assistantship is available on a project investigating the active viewing of dynamic scenes. The research, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, focuses on understanding how attention and gaze are oriented in video depicting real-world events. The project includes development of new techniques for analyzing and visualizing eyetracking data in video.
Candidates should have a PhD in Cognitive Psychology or a related Cognitive Science discipline and experience with eyetracking. A strong quantitative background and knowledge of MATLAB or similar programming environment are preferred.
The Visual Cognition Lab is focused on understanding human vision during complex real-world scene perception. Because human vision involves active information seeking via eye movements, much of the work in the lab focuses on human gaze control. We are also interested in computational approaches and implementation of underlying attentional processes in the human brain. A new focus in the lab combines eyetracking with ERPs. The Visual Cognition Lab is part of an extensive cognitive science community at Edinburgh University.
Interested candidates should send a CV, a brief (2 page max) statement of research interests, representative reprints, and the names and contact information of two references by email to John Henderson (john.m.henderson@ed.ac.uk). Start date is flexible. Informal inquiries are welcome.
