Postdoctoral position in Visual Science.
A postdoctoral position (c. DM 70,000.00; BAT IIA) is available from 1 April 1999 in the Department of Experimental Ophthalmology. The position is within a Project (A6) ìGenotyping and Phenotyping of Human Cone Photoreceptorsî within a DFG Special Research Project (SFB 430) ìCellular mechanisms of sensory processes and neuronal interactionî.
The group investigates the human visual system with psychophysical methods. The emphasis is on the biophysical properties of the photoreceptors. In order to correlate our results with photoreceptoral and neuronal processes, we collaborate closely with molecular biological (Dr Bernd Wissinger), electrophysiological (PD Dr Jan Kremers) and psychophysical (PD Dr Karl Gegenfurtner) research groups in T¸bingen and in Great Britain, The Netherlands and the United States.
In addition to our investigations of basic visual processes, we are interested in the diagnosis and characterization of several inherited and aquired retinal disorders (e.g., X-chromsome-linked colourblindness, achromatopsia).
The laboratory is equipped with 2 Maxwellian-view optical systems, a computer controlled colour display, an LCD colour display and an Nagel anomaloscope.
Recent publications include Nature Genetics (1998, 19, 257-259) and Journal of Neuroscience (1998, 18, 10053). Other publications from the research group are in press in Journal of Neuroscience, Nature and Scientific American.
Candidates should be highly motivated with a background in biology, experimental psychology, medicine, neurosciences, or physics. They should apply within the next two weeks. Please forward a curriculum vitae, publication list and a short summary of research interests to:
