[visionlist] 20th International Symposium on Aviation Psychology Call for Proposals: New Proposal Submission Deadline

[visionlist] Graduate assistant positions available at University of Arizona

The University of Arizona Neuroscience Graduate Interdisciplinary program is growing and looking to recruit talented and motivated graduate assistants. With over 55 faculty whose research spans diverse areas of neuroscience, the program provides a unique, integrated training and mentorship approach for a career in research, teaching, or neuroscience-related careers in academia, research centers, industry, business and/or government. Principal research areas of strength include aging, pain, emotion motivated behavior, neuro-immunology, molecular & cellular neuro- and synaptic physiology, and the molecular basis of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.

Our alumni have become successful faculty at research universities and liberal arts colleges, scientists at Biotech companies and leaders at government agencies and private foundations. UA is located in Tucson, a great place to live, with a vibrant culture, warm climate year-round, outdoor adventures (including easy access to national parks), and low living costs. Application deadline for the Neuroscience PhD program (https://ift.tt/2RkaYzw) is December 1, 2018.

[visionlist] Postdoc in cognitive neuroscience of object and scene perception, Donders Institute, The Netherlands

A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Marius Peelen at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (Nijmegen, The Netherlands). The Donders Institute offers excellent lab and neuroimaging facilities, courses, and technical support.
The research group, funded by an ERC grant, uses fMRI and EEG/MEG to investigate the neural basis of factors that contribute to efficient naturalistic vision, such as object grouping, perceptual learning, context-based predictions, and attentional set. We also study the principles underlying the organisation of high-level visual cortex. 

As a postdoctoral researcher you will be expected to take the lead in developing and performing fMRI and (fMRI-guided) TMS experiments that reveal the function and causal contribution of object- and scene-selective cortices during naturalistic visual perception. Studying related topics, within the scope of the lab’s interests, may also be possible.

You should preferably hold a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or a related field, and have relevant experience in visual perception research and a strong motivation to pursue a scientific career. Experience with fMRI and/or TMS is highly desirable, as is experience with scientific programming (e.g. MATLAB, Python). You will work in a highly collaborative lab environment and you will be expected to participate actively in lab events, discussions, and research collaborations.For informal inquiries, email m.peelen@donders.ru.nl

INTEGRATE BRAIN AND BODY

Are you interested in neuroscience but would like to integrate your knowledge of the brain with knowledge about other body systems and human health?

The Physiological Sciences Graduate Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Arizona is a great fit for those with a background in neuroscience.

Physiological research is concerned with how systems, from molecules to entire organisms, function. Current researchers in our program study how sleep and blood pressure are regulated by the brain, to recording responses to light from individual neurons in the healthy and diseased retina, to recording neuromuscular responses to determine how to improve neuroprosthetic devices.

The UA requires PhD students to complete a minor, which gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge in areas outside of physiology, such as a Neuroscience minor.

Quick facts about our program:

* Top 10 Physiology PhD programs in the United States (NRC)
* PhD students are fully-funded
* Master’s students can apply for funded Teaching Assistantships
* 70+ internationally recognized training faculty members
* Dual MD-PhD program offered, allowing completion of both degrees in less time
* Interdisciplinary nature of the program allows for interactions with faculty across diverse research areas

I encourage you to visit our website for more information about our areas of research, faculty members, funding opportunities, alumni testimonials, and admissions information.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

I hope to hear from you soon!

[visionlist] PhD Positions in Image/Video Domain Translation, Restoration and Enhancement, Learned Compression @ ETH Zurich

Open PhD Student Positions in Domain Translation, Restoration and Enhancement, and Learned Compression at ETH Zurich

The Computer Vision Laboratory from ETH Zurich, led by Prof. Luc Van Gool, has open PhD student positions in image/video domain translation, image/video restoration and enhancement, and learned image/video compression.

At ETH Zurich, students discover an ideal environment for independent thinking, researchers
a climate which inspires top performance. Situated in the heart of
Europe, yet forging connections all over the world, ETH Zurich is
pioneering effective solutions to the global challenges of today and tomorrow.

Computer Vision Laboratory and ETH in general are an exciting
environment for research. Zurich typically ranks 1st or 2nd on the world
list of nicest cities to live in. Members of the lab already won best
paper awards at top conferences (ICCV, CVPR, ACCV, ICRA, ….), founded successful spinoffs, and/or collaborated with industry.Computer Vision Laboratory is a highly international team, with people from about 15 countries. Depending on the position, the successful PhD candidate will focus on a subset of the following Research Topics:
