[visionlist] Postdoctoral Opportunity in Retinal Imaging

Postdoctoral Opportunity in Retinal Imaging

A postdoctoral position inthe Advanced Ocular Imaging Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin (www.mcw.edu/AOIP.htm), under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Carroll is available to a highly motivated and ambitious individual with a strong background in vision research and an interest in hereditary retinal degenerations. This position is appropriate for individuals who are preparing for a career in academia. The successful candidate will be involved in using a state-of-the-art devices (adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope and spectral domain OCT) for high-resolution imaging of the living human retina. Current projects in the lab focus on using retinal imaging in combination with functional measures of vision in order to understand the mechanism of photoreceptor-based vision disorders. The successful candidate will be given significant time and dedicated lab space to explore independent research projects of their own, and will have access!

It is one of the most rapidly growing research institutions in the country in terms of NIH funding. The MCW vision research group consists of a diverse group of faculty members in multiple departments with research in the biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecularbiology of the retina and anterior segment. The vision research group is highly interactive and supported by both Core and Training Grants from the NEI.

Qualifications should include a Ph.D. in neuroscience, vision science, cell biology, or other related field. Strong quantitative skills are highly desirable, as is experience with MatLab.
