[visionlist] Postdoc position: Recovery from Amblyopia

[Terri Lewis]

Post-doctoral position to study Recovery from Amblyopia


Funding is available for a post-doctoral fellow to study  
rehabilitation of vision in adults with amblyopia. The research is  
part of a collaborative research project funded by the James S.  
McDonnell Foundation involving 6 labs to explore new approaches to  
the rehabilitation of amblyopia in human and animal models. The  
position will be situated in the laboratory of Drs. Daphne Maurer and  
Terri Lewis and will involve training studies with humans. The post- 
doctoral fellow will attend meetings of the consortium and may also  
have opportunities to do research in the other labs [Dr. Dennis Levi,  
Berkely; Dr. Daphne Bavelier, Rochester; Dr. Takao Hensch, Harvard;  
Dr. Bruce McCandliss, Cornell; Dr. Donald Mitchell, Dalhousie]. The  
position affords an unusual opportunity to be part of cutting edge  
research on visual plasticity.

Knowledge of vision, psychophysical techniques, Matlab, and  
Psychtoolbox would be an asset. The position can start anytime  
between April and October 2007.
