Postdoctoral Position in Cognitive Neuroscience of Saccade Target Selection
Department of Psychology Royal Holloway & Institute of Cognitive
Neuroscience (University of London)
A vacancy exists for a postdoctoral (1A) or postgraduate (1B) research
assistant to work on a three- year project entitled 'A study of oculomotor
selection: choosing targets and inhibiting distractors'. The principle
investigators are Dr Robin Walker and Dr Patrick Haggard and the project
has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust for three years.
The project aims to develop a new approach, based on measures of curved
saccade trajectories, to study the inhibition of unwanted responses in the
selection of a saccade target. A range of behavioural studies are planned
in healthy human subjects, and the approach will be extended to a small
group of neurological patients. The post would be suitable for someone
with a PhD in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline with an
interest in eye movement research. Specific expertise in one or more of
the following areas would be an advantage: oculomotor research,
neuropsychology, vision research and computer programming. Suitably
qualified postgraduates may also be considered.
The psychology department at Royal Holloway has an active vision group and
received a rating of 5 in the most recent RAE. The oculomotor laboratory
is well equipped with a modern video-based eye tracker and work on
crossmodal interactions in saccade target selection are already underway.
The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary institute
which was established to bring together a range of experts in the field of
Cognitive Neuroscience for collaborative research. Further information is
available at http://psyserver.pc.rhbnc.ac.uk/vision/ and

Informal inquiries should be directed to: Robin Walker
