EPSRC funded project to study “Limits of functional, diffraction-
limited vision”
A well motivated PhD student with a good academic record is
sought to study the “Limits of
functional, diffraction-limited vision with emphasis on development
of novel instrumentation and
techniques to separate the effects of scattered light and
aberrations”. The aim of the project is to
develop and validate novel techniques for rapid objective
measurement of the scatter function of the
eye with emphasis on separating the effects of scattered light and
aberrations.
A number of psychophysical studies of visual performance will also
be carried out using a new
adaptive optics system constructed for this work. The successful
applicant will join another PhD
student and will be working in a team that includes John Barbur,
Chris Dainty, Chris Hull and Luis
Santana Haro.
The clinical, psychophysical studies will also involve Michael
Morgan, Manfred Fahle and Roger
Buckley. The project provides skilled technical support with
development of optical instrumentation
and specialised programming. The position is open to a graduate
with a good background in a scientific
or engineering discipline. Interest or experience in retinal imaging,
adaptive optics and / or the
measurement of scattered light in the eye would be a distinct
advantage. The position is available from
1st October for three years.

applicants are invited to contact:
