  • Next message: Rachel Necker: "VisionScienceList: Journal of Vision -- Special Issue"

    Where: Lions Vision Center of the Wilmer Eye Insititue at Johns
    Hopkins.

    When: Starting in the summer of 2001, for one or two years.

    Who: I am looking for 2 postdoctoral fellows:

    1) A research/clinical fellowship for an O.D. or O.D./Ph.D. with a
    strong interest in low vision psychophysics (including ERG/VEP) and
    retinal degenerations. Primary responsibilitites under this fellowship
    will include vision test development and validation in patients with
    severe visual impairment, as well as participation in a clinical trial of
    a nutritional supplement in retinitis pigmentosa.

    2) A research fellowship for a Ph.D. in vision science with a strong
    methodological background in psychophysics and an interest in
    visual prosthetics. This fellowship will include simulation work in
    normally-sighted and low vision subjects as well as psychophysical
    testing of intraocular prosthesis wearers.

    Close collaboration between these two individuals, within a research
    team with a strong tradition in low vision research, will be strongly
    encouraged.

    For further information contact:
