[Matt McMahon]

Postdoc: Eyemovement Researcher for Implantable Vision System

The successful candidate will design and conduct experiments to explore
the role of eye movements in patients with an implanted retinal
prosthesis. The device is implanted in patients who have become blind
due to retinal disease and degeneration. The prosthesis consists of
electrodes placed on the ganglion cell layer of the retina, an
electronic pulse generator, a belt worn image processing device, and a
glasses-mounted video camera. The ideal candidate has a strong academic
or industrial background in eye movement psychophysics and physiology,
visuomotor control, eye tracking systems, and computer programming.
Clinical experience is desired but not necessary. Work will be done in
collaboration with groups breaking new ground studying the effects of
electrical stimulation on the retina in vitro, as well as groups
studying the perception of electrical stimulation in human patients in a
clinical setting. This is an unique opportunity to carry out cutting
edge research in a medical device company with significant academic
collaboration and provides an excellent path for persons with eye
movement expertise to work on the most advanced implantable medical
device that exist today.
