University of Nevada, Reno
University of Nevada, Reno, North Virginia Street, Reno, NV, USA
Applications are currently being considered for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the MacNeilage lab. Research in the lab (https://wolfweb.unr.edu/~pmacneilage/) aims to understand how visual and vestibular sensory signals are integrated with motor signals to support perception of self-motion as well as basic behaviors that depend on self-motion estimates, including reflexive eye and head movement and postural control. Psychophysical experiments are conducted in a virtual reality facility consisting of a hexapod motion platform and a large field-of-view visual display for delivering well-controlled vestibular and optic flow stimuli. Other equipment includes a rotating chair, treadmill, and head-mounted displays. Motor contributions to self-motion and spatial orientation are investigated through optical tracking of eye, head, and body movement. Sensory and motor processing are modeled in a probabilistic framework.
The position is available immediately. Applications will be assessed as they arrive; position posting will remain open until filled. Salary will be based on NIH post-doctoral rates and commensurate with experience. The position is a non-tenure-track full-time ‘A’ contract appointment for 12 months with potential for renewal for additional years.
Department Information
The lab is part of the Integrative Neuroscience (https://www.unr.edu/neuroscience/center) and Cognitive and Brain Sciences (http://groups.unr.edu/unr_psych_cbs/CBS_grad_program/) programs at the University of Nevada, Reno. Reno is located near Northern California on the Eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, only 45 minutes’ drive from Lake Tahoe and 3.5 hours drive from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Required Qualifications
PhD degree in psychology, neuroscience, or a related discipline.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience with psychophysics, probabilistic modeling, virtual reality and/or tracking equipment is desirable. A background in engineering and/or computer science is advantageous.
