The Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London is seeking
to recruit an outstanding investigator to work in the Division of
Visual Science. The Institute of Ophthalmology, which received a 5*
in the last Research Assessment Exercise, has a distinguished record
of achievement and scholarship. The Division, which is undergoing a
major expansion of expertise, space, and equipment, is concerned with
basic research in visual psychophysics and in developing applications
to vision rehabilitation.
Successful candidates will be highly motivated vision scientists
currently working in any area of visual psychophysics. Areas of
special interest include eye movements, image enhancement and
understanding, and the psychophysics of reading and other everyday
tasks. The successful candidate for this post will be encouraged, in
addition to pursuing their core research, to take a special interest
in the application of psychophysics to clinical problems related to
vision impairment. The successful candidate for the post will be
encouraged to participate in the development of new eye movement
recording,, fundus imaging, and visual simulation laboratories.
Exciting opportunities will exist to develop cross-disciplinary
collaborations that will build towards an integrated approach to
visual function and rehabilitation in a stimulating environment for
clinical and academic vision research. Superb new laboratory space is
available.
Preliminary enquires should be made to the Head of the Department of
Visual Rehabilitation Research and holder of the Helen Keller Chair,
Professor Gary S. Rubin (g.rubin@ucl.ac.uk; tel 020 7608 6989), or
the Institute Director, Professor Adam Sillito (ams.admin @ucl.ac.uk;
tel 020 7608 6805). Formal applications should include a full CV,
research proposal, and the names of three referees, and should be
sent to the Director, Professor Adam Sillito, at the Institute of
Ophthalmology.
The Institute operates a no-smoking policy.
