If you know of any likely candidates who would have an appropriate background and might be interested in coming to Melbourne, could you please forward? Either newly completing PhD students, or perhaps someone who wants to do a second postdoc somewhere new. While the advert sounds quite computational, a student with a background in visual psychophysics is probably preferable. All the best Allison **** We are looking for an enthusiastic researcher to join our team at the University of Melbourne. *About the position* The position is a 2 year, fixed term postdoctoral position funded by an ARC Linkage Project Grant (*LP150100815*; *New, Efficient Tests That Map Both Central and Peripheral Vision*), The investigator team is A/Prof Andrew Turpin (Computing and Information Systems), Prof Allison McKendrick (Optometry & Vision Science), Swiss-based company Haag-Streit AG, and international partner Prof Paul Artes (Plymouth Uni, UK). This project will devise new algorithms for testing peripheral and central vision. Current approaches to visual field testing typically use either static targets focused on the central 30 degrees of vision, or moving/kinetic targets for more peripheral vision. This project aims to combine the two in a principled and practical fashion. New algorithms will be initially tested using computer simulation, and successful approaches will be tested in a small group of people with visual field damage. This project aims to advance our ability to diagnose and monitor visual functional damage due to eye disease. The successful applicant will be responsible for the design, and testing of a kinetic perimetry simulator and new algorithms, gathering and presenting data from simulations and small human trials, communicating results both in writing and orally, and contributing to our wider research group. The successful applicant will be based in the Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Further information about the broader collaborative research of the department is available at: http://healthsciences.unimelb.edu.au/research2/optometry-and-vision-sciences-research Further information about the broader research interests of the team is available at: http://people.eng.unimelb.edu.au/aturpin/ and http://healthsciences.unimelb.edu.au/research2/optometry-and-vision-sciences-research/clinical-psychophysics-unit *About Melbourne* Great weather (depending on what you have to compare to), great coffee, the ?world?s most liveable city?, see: http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20151005-is-this-the-worlds-most-liveable-city *Applications* Formal applications need to be submitted via the University of Melbourne Careers website: http://jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/887872/research-fellow-human-vision Informal enquires to Allison McKendrick: allisonm at unimelb.edu.au -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
