> Subject: [visionlist] Two PhD studentships at the University of York
>
> Two, three-year, PhD studentships are available at the University of
> York to work in the labs of Dr Heidi Baseler, Professor Tony Morland
> and Professor Alex Wade. The studentships are fully funded (fees
> paid) for EU citizens and those fulfilling residency criteria and
> offer a stipend of £12,500 per annum. Applicants from outside the EU
> are eligible, but will have to pay tuition fees.
>
> The studentships form part of a Collaborative International Research
> Centre (CIRC) funded by the University of York to foster collaborative
> research into vision and visual dysfunction with three other partner
> Universities. The opportunity exists therefore for holders of the
> studentships to undertake funded study visits in the labs of
> Professors Frans Cornelissen (University of Groningen, Netherlands),
> Mark Greenlee (University of Regensburg, Germany) and Michael Hoffmann
> (University of Magdeburg, Germany).
>
> The researchers at York and the partner institutions have interests in
> many aspects of visual function and use neuroimaging and
> psychophysical techniques (MRI, fMRI, MEG, VEP, ERG and TMS) to
> determine the neural mechanisms that underpin human vision in health
> and disease. Example publications are listed below, but research in
> the host labs is not limited to the themes described in these
> articles. For additional research publications please check Google
> scholar entries.

> Silson EH, McKeefry DJ, Rodgers J, Gouws AD, Hymers M, Morland AB.
> (2013) Specialized and independent processing of orientation and shape
> in visual field maps LO1 and LO2. Nature Neuroscience 16:267-9.

> We are looking for a bright graduate with a strong interest in visual
> science. You will have at least a predicted upper second class degree
> – or equivalent - in a scientific discipline. It is essential that
> those wanting to be considered are fluent English speakers and are
> confident writers. Computer skills, particularly in Matlab and/or
> Python, are highly desirable.
>
> To apply include a CV detailing your academic qualifications and
> research experience. Applicants should include a research statement
> outlining (i) a research question in vision science (ii) why it is
> important and (iii) how you might go about investigating it with an
> initial experiment at the University of York. Successful applicants
> will not be constrained to followup on the research described in their
> statement. The statement will however form part of the selection
> process and it must be no longer than one side of A4 in 12pt font.
>
> Please send your application (in PDF format) to antony.morland@york.ac.uk
>
> DEADLINE: The deadline for application is Monday 10th July. We will
> interview shortlisted candidates in person or via skype.
