| Description | The award was that of a 1-year Postdoctoral Fellowship, awarded to consolidate my career at that stage. Through the possibility of taking on the Fellowship at the University of Liverpool, where I had held my first postdoctoral position, I had the opportunity to consolidate my research outputs, prepare future proposals and acquire new skills without the pressure to adapt to working in a new environment. It provided enough funding to attend a large number of conferences which allowed me to network with a broad range of colleagues, ranging from neurophysiology to cognitive psychology. This led to a number of invitations to present my research at seminars at other departments. By having plenty of time to digest the knowledge gained at conferences and to read books and publications from a wide area related to my main interests, I gained a broad perspective on research developments and could define my own future research directions. The Fellowship also motivated me to take the next step and apply to a full-time lecturership position at the University of Aberdeen - and through having had the Fellowship, I could demonstrate my ability to obtain funding which I feel was one of the crucial factors in getting the offer from the department. Last but not least, I prepared two funding applications - one of them was succesful with the BBSRC new investigator scheme. For more information on the outputs from that project, please see its own outcomes page (reference BB/H019731/1). |
| Exploitation Route | This was a postdoctoral fellowship award, so the main impact was meant to be my own career development. As a member of the research community, I am now in a position to assist with career development of other early career staff, as well as developing my research further, with potential implications of findings on basic vision for the fields of ergonomics and computer vision. |

| Description | The impact on my career from the ESRC postdoctoral fellowship, which I held for a year in 2008-2009 has been immense. I consolidated my research outputs stemming from my PhD work, attended training courses and conferences, and conducted pilot work that formed the foundation of my subsequent BBSRC funded new investigator project. It enabled me to get my own position of a lecturer at the University of Aberdeen in 2009. The impact of the work itself, which concerns basic mechanisms of visual perception, is still in the process of materialising. The project has led to subsequent research questions, some of which are more applied in nature and may produce industrially-relevant impacts. |
