Linda Smith, Chen Yu, and David Crandall are inviting applications for
post-doctoral research fellowships at Indiana University. We are seeking ambitious young researchers to join us in the study of early visual environments and egocentric vision, especially as they relate to the development of visual object recognition and early object name learning. We have a collected over 500 hours of home head camera (and audio) data in infants from 3 weeks to 24 months to understand the statistical structure of natural visual environments and how they change with development. There are important open questions in low level and high level visual statistics, object name correspondences, and experiences of specific object categories such as faces, hands, people, and objects. Please see www.iub.edu/~cogdev for recent work on this project. We have funds to hire two fellows who could define their own projects (including new data collection) depending on their area of expertise and interests. Applicants with interests in early object name learning, visual and perceptual development, the role of sensory-motor development in perception, visual object recognition, natural visual statistics, machine learning, machine vision and egocentric vision are invited to apply. Indiana University Bloomington provides a strong intellectual environment of collaboration across disciplines and applicants will receive substantive career mentoring and support for independent research and professional development. This postdoc position is for 2-3 years dependent on yearly evaluations. How to apply: Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until filled. Please email: a cover letter including a 1-2 page statement of research interests, a CV and contact details for 3 referees. Reference letters may be requested for short-listed applicants. Please also attach up to 3 representative publications or manuscripts. Send applications to: Charlotte Wozniak, [email protected]. Please put Homeview/Egocentric Vision Post-docs in the subject line.
