Salary: Open

Academic/Faculty

Internal Number: 143406

A Postdoctoral Associate position is now available in the Department of Psychology and Center for Neural Science at New York University.  The position is for an NIH-funded research project concerned with multisensory cue integration, including vision, audition, touch and proprioception for interpreting spatial location, temporal judgments and interpreting self- and object-motion from optic flow. Theoretical issues include the role of uncertainty in cue integration, use of priors, causal inference, cue recalibration and confidence judgments. Techniques include computational neuroscience modeling and psychophysics. The work is primarily in the lab of Michael Landy, and will include close collaboration with David Heeger. Experience in either of these areas (psychophysics, computational modeling) is required, but skill in both would be even more helpful.

The NYU perception group is world-renowned, with dozens of faculty members spanning several departments.  It includes research in all areas of vision science including psychophysics, computational and mathematical modeling and physiology.
The appointment is initially for one year, renewable year by year for as many as four years contingent on availability of funding and satisfactory performance.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500-$90,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

Experience in psychophysics and computational modeling

An application should include a CV, sample publications, and references.
