We are seeking an enthusiastic collaborator to participate in research in 3D (stereoscopic) cinema. The position is funded via an exciting multidisciplinary grant awarded to Rob Allison (Department of Computer Science and Engineering), Ali Kazimi (Department of Film) and Laurie Wilcox (Department of Psychology). The project will investigate a number of issues related to the capture and production of 3D film and will involve close collaboration with several industrial partners.

The candidate should have a PhD in a field related to the visual sciences and a background in visual psychophysics. We are seeking someone with a keen interest in stereoscopic vision and 3D cinema, so experience in this domain would be helpful. The post-doctoral fellow will design, conduct and analyse experiments that will use fundamental psychophysical methodology to evaluate both basic and applied research questions. Ideally we are looking for an individual who is familiar with programming for behavioural experiments, who is technically capable and who has interest or experience in digital media. The successful candidate will focus primarily on perceptual and human factors issues, but s/he will work closely with team members from the Future Cinema Lab in the Faculty of Fine Arts. They will also be encouraged to pursue their own research goals and to interact with the other members of the Centre for Vision Research and the Future Cinema Lab.

The York Centre for Vision Research is an interdisciplinary centre spanning the laboratories of 23 faculty members in the Departments of Psychology, Computer Science, Biology and Philosophy (see www.cvr.yorku.ca ). Members pursue fundamental and applied research in visual, vestibular and auditory perception, eye-movements, computer vision, virtual reality and robotics. Located within the Faculty of Fine Arts at York University, the Future Cinema Lab (FCL) investigates how new digital storytelling techniques can critically transform a diverse array of state-of-the-art screens (see http://futurecinema.ca).

This a two year position which begins September 2010. Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. (or equivalent) prior to taking up the position. The salary is consistent with current MRC/NSERC standards and will be adjusted according to the candidate’s level of experience.

Excellent candidates with background in MATERIAL SCIENCE (with special reference to nanowires fabrication and characterization), MEMS, or ELECTRONICS (with special reference to op amps, electronic interfaces,…) can apply for visiting or for PhD positions.

Successful candidates will join a large cross-disciplinary research effort for increasing the efficiency of piezoelectric nanogenerators [1-4] by improving modeling, nano-fabrication, devices, and electronics.

The research is in collaboration with Prof. Zhong Lin Wang [1-4]
(http://www.nanoscience.gatech.edu/zlwang/).

Salary for PhD students is about € 1.050,00 net/month. Besides, mobility costs (travel, food, and accommodation) for visits to the Georgia Institute of Technology will be fully supported.

Available facilities (within 2 minutes walking) include SEM, AFM, furnaces, standard instrumentation for electronics, workstations for electronic circuit design and FEM simulations, three deposition systems (conventional PLD and two Laser-MBE), X-ray diffraction, microprobe analysis; resistivity measurements in applied magnetic field, up to 1T, down to 15K; I-V and Hall effect measurements.

Available facilities at the Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie – CNR (about 15 minutes driving) include: sputtering, PECVD, ECR-PECVD, optical lithography, electron beam lithography, ion lithography, micromachining, I-V and C-V characterization of semiconductor devices, SEM, AFM, and laser annealing.
