The Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London, in
affiliation with Moorfields Eye Hospital, has made a major commitment
towards the development of a new Department of Vision Rehabilitation
Research. The commitment takes the form of dedicated laboratory space
and support staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and the enthusiastic
collaboration of researchers and clinicians throughout the Institute
and Hospital. We are currently recruiting for a new Lecturer's
position that we hope to fill by the beginning of the 2000-2001
academic year. An announcement describing the position is attached.
The job offering is also described on the UCL web site at
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioo
Promising candidates in the fields of visual psychophysics,
optometry, neuroscience, epidemiology, or rehabilitation who would be
interested in applying their special knowledge in an area of major
public health importance are urged to contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Gary S. Rubin, Ph.D.

LECTURER
DEPARTMENT OF VISION REHABILITATION RESEARCH
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
INSTITUTE OF OPHTHALMOLOGY
Bath Street, London EC1V 9EL
The Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London is
seeking to recruit a promising investigator to work within the newly
created Department of Vision Rehabilitation Research. The Institute
of Ophthalmology, which received a 5* in the last Research Assessment
Exercise, has a distinguished record of achievement and scholarship.
The new Department, established in conjunction with Moorfields Eye
Hospital, seeks to further a major expansion of expertise in research
related to vision impairment and its rehabilitation.
Successful candidates will be highly motivated vision scientists
currently working in any area of visual psychophysics who have a
strong interest in clinical applications. Applicants with experience
in eye movement research, image enhancement, functional vision and
quality of life, or epidemiology, would be particularly welcome.
Candidates will be encouraged to participate in the development of
state-of-the-art visual simulations, fundus imaging and eye movement
recording laboratories. Exciting opportunities will exist to develop
cross-disciplinary collaborations that will build towards an
integrated approach to function and rehabilitation in a stimulating
environment for clinical and academic vision research. Superb new
laboratory space is available.
Salary on the non-clinical Lecturer A or B pay scale in the range
GBP17,238 - GBP22,579 (A) or GBP23,521 - GBP30,065 (B) per annum plus
GBP2,134 London Allowance per annum, according to experience. The
post will be for five years in the first instance, with the
possibility of renewal.
Preliminary enquiries should be made to the new Head of the
Department of Vision Rehabilitation Research and holder of the Helen
Keller Chair, Professor Gary S Rubin (g.rubin@ucl.ac.uk; tel +44
(0)20 7608 6989), or the Institute Director, Professor Adam Sillito
(ams.admin@ucl.ac.uk; tel +44 (0)20 7608 6805). Formal applications
should include a full CV, research proposal, and the names of three
referees, and should be sent to Gary S Rubin at the Institute of
Ophthalmology.
