A Postdoctoral position and a Ph.D. studentship are available in the
lab of Karl
Gegenfurtner at Giessen University. The positions are for someone
interested in
the relationship between sensory processing and motor control. We are
particularly interested in the interaction of signals for visual
perception and
for the control of eye movements. Examples for recent research papers
addressing
these issues are:
Schütz, A.C., Braun, D.I., Kerzel, D. Gegenfurtner, K.R. (2008)
Improved
visual sensitivity during smooth pursuit eye movements. Nature
Neuroscience, 11,
1211-1216.
White, B.J., Stritzke, M. Gegenfurtner, K.R. (2008) Saccadic
facilitation in
natural backgrounds. Current Biology, 18, 124-128.
Braun, D.I., Mennie, N., Rasche, C., Schütz, A.C., Hawken, M.J.
Gegenfurtner,
K.R. (2008) Smooth pursuit eye movements to isoluminant targets.
Journal of
Neurophysiology, 100, 1287-1300.
The positions start in January 2009, but later dates could be arranged.
For the PostDoc position, a doctoral degree in psychology, physics,
biology, or
computer science is prerequisite. Experience in programming visual
displays or
measuring eye movements are of advantage. Salary is according to
German research
scale BAT IIa. The position is for 1 year initially and renewable for
up to 3 years.
For the Ph.D. studentship, a M.A. or M.Sc. degree is required. The
position is
paid according to German research salary scale Bat IIa/2 and is for
three years.
Please send applications (please indicate which position you are
applying for)
before November 15 2008 per email (PDF preferred). More information

group can be found at http://www.allpsych.uni-giessen.de.
