We are offering a fully funded four-year PhD position at the Laboratory of Visual Psychophysics (Faculty of Psychology, UCM, https://www.ucm.es/serranopedrazalab/). The position is part of the national program “Ayudas para contratos predoctorales para la formación de doctores 2025” and is directly associated with the research project “Figure-ground segregation in dynamic backgrounds: the effect of spatial suppression and cross-scale motion interaction” (PID2024-155243NB-I00, P.I. Ignacio Serrano-Pedraza).
The project investigates the role of motion-inhibitory mechanisms in figure-ground segregation, focusing on two well-known mechanisms: the center-surround antagonistic mechanism and the cross-scale motion interaction mechanism. The main goal of the project is to investigate how these two mechanisms affect figure-ground segregation, i.e., how moving stimuli are perceived and distinguished from static or dynamic backgrounds. We will use threshold-based tasks and continuous psychophysics using eye-tracking.
The candidates must hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Psychology or a related discipline.
The position has the possibility of converting the final year into a postdoctoral contract if the thesis is successfully completed within three years.
For applications go to this web: https://www.ucm.es/ct13-26
Deadline for applications: 6th of March, 2026
