<p class="MsoNormal">Andrew and I are looking for a postdoc to work on perimetry related issues (see cut & paste of advert below) in a collaborative project with Paul Artes.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>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?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>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. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
