We are looking for a highly-motivated and dynamic individual to join an interdisciplinary team working on the perception of audiovisual space and motion during self-movement.
The successful applicant will join a team of vision and auditory scientists interested in understanding how we look and listen while moving. Working alongside Tom Freeman (vision science, hearing), John Culling (psychoacoustics), you will
join a team (2PIs, 2 post-docs, 3 PhD students) investigating how auditory, visual and audiovisual space and motion is recovered during head and eye movement. The lab is built around state-of-the-art auditory presentation (48 channel speaker array), VR (Oculus
Rift) and motion tracking (head movement, eye movement), and uses human psychophysics to understand how vision, hearing, vestibular cues and motor information are combined. Related work in the lab includes research on individual differences, Bayesian models,
infantile nystagmus, room acoustics, ambisonics, speech in noise, cochlear implant users. More widely, you will join a vibrant perception group (Aline Bompas, John Culling, Tom Freeman, Simon Rushton, Petroc Sumner, Christoph Teufel) in one of the leading
Psychology departments in the UK. The 3-year position is funded by the Leverhulme Trust as part of a project entitled “Active audiovisual perception: Listening and looking while moving”. The successful applicant will also help contribute to the supervision of a PhD student
funded by the grant. Application deadline is 1st March. For further details about the project, please go
