Postdoctoral Fellowship in Visual Psychophysics at New York University

WANTED: Postdoc to study object recognition and crowding in Denis Pelli's lab at NYU. We'll use psychophysics, possibly supplemented by machine-learning modeling and MEG and fMRI imaging. Object recognition is a tough nut; we welcome fresh approaches and diverse backgrounds. Position funded by NIH, available immediately (May 2009).

Our building, in Greenwich Village, houses more than twenty visual scientists, the Psychology Dept, the Center for Neural Science, and MEG and fMRI facilities.

Please read our latest paper (below), describe your interests, mention any new ideas you've produced (in any domain), and include a curriculum vitae and names of references.

I will be at VSS, May 7-14. Please contact me.
