Postdoctoral Position, High-resolution Retinal Imaging. University of Houston. A postdoctoral position is available in Jason Porter’s laboratory at the University of Houston’s College of Optometry (UHCO) to build and use a high-resolution imaging system equipped with adaptive optics for conducting experiments on retinal disease. The successful applicant will be involved in designing, constructing, aligning and operating this instrument for imaging the living retina. The successful applicant will work on projects that explore the underlying mechanisms responsible for ganglion cell-, photoreceptor-, and vascular-based retinal disease using in vivo high resolution adaptive optics imaging along with other optical and functional imaging techniques. This position will offer opportunities for advancing the applicant’s teaching skills, professional development and career growth. The UHCO (http://www.opt.uh.edu) consists of an internationally recognized group of vision researchers studying normal and abnormal visual processes and disorders of the eye, visual pathways and perception, psychophysical and ophthalmic optics, color vision, retinal pathology, molecular and cellular biology, and the anatomy and physiology of vision. This exciting research program is supported by core and training grants from the National Eye Institute. The University of Houston and the city of Houston offer an excellent blend of cultural and entertainment activities, including acclaimed museums, concert halls, theaters, restaurants, music venues, and professional and collegiate sports. In addition, my laboratory is part of the National Science Foundation’s Center for Adaptive Optics, an organization comprised of astronomers, vision scientists, engineers and educators who seek to advance adaptive optics technology and imaging capabilities, and to improve the technological, teaching and professional development skills of its members. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in optics, biomedical engineering, or other related field. Strong quantitative skills are highly desirable, as is experience with Matlab and optical design programs (such as ZEMAX or CODE V). Experience with the design, construction and/or alignment of optical systems will greatly enhance the application. To apply, please send a Curriculum Vita, a statement of your research experience and interests, and the names and contact information for three references to: Jason Porter, Ph.D. University of Houston, College of Optometry. 505 J. Davis Armistead Building. Houston, Texas 77204-2020. E-mail: jporter@optometry.uh.edu Web site: http://www.opt.uh.edu/faculty/jporter/ Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The University of Houston is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action institution. Minorities, women, veterans and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
