[Joseph Carroll]

Postdoctoral Opportunity in Retinal Imaging
 
A postdoctoral position, in Dr. Joseph Carroll's lab at the Medical College
of Wisconsin (MCW), is available to a highly motivated and ambitious
individual with a strong background in optics and/or biomedical engineering.
This position is appropriate for technically trained individuals who are
looking to expand their training into vision science applications of retinal
imaging in order to prepare for a career in academia. The successful
candidate will be involved in using a state-of-the-art devices (adaptive
optics ophthalmoscope and spectral domain OCT) for high-resolution imaging
of the living human retina, and will be able to receive concurrent training
in many aspects of human vision - including electrophysiology,
psychophysics, and molecular genetics. Initial projects in the lab will
focus on using retinal imaging in combination with functional measures of
vision in order to understand the mechanism of photoreceptor-based vision
disorders.  The successful candidate will be given significant time and
dedicated lab space to explore independent research projects of their own,
and will have access to the career development services of the Office of
Postdoctoral Education at MCW
(http://www.mcw.edu/display/router.asp?docid=2414).
 
MCW is located in a suburban setting about seven miles west of downtown
Milwaukee with easy highway access from all surrounding communities. It is
one of the most rapidly growing research institutions in the country in
terms of NIH funding.  The MCW vision research group consists of 13 faculty
members in multiple departments with research in the biochemistry, genetics,
cell and molecular biology of the retina and anterior segment. The vision
research group is highly interactive and supported by both Core and Training
Grants from the NEI.
 
Qualifications should include a Ph.D. in physics, optics, biomedical
engineering, or other related field.  Strong quantitative skills are highly
desirable, as is proficiency with C++, MatLab, and ZEMAX.    For application
consideration please forward curriculum vitae, a statement of research
activities and interests, and the names and contact information of three
individuals who can provide letters of reference to the address below:
