[visionlist] Research fellow position: refractive errors

[Peter Hendicott]

The Vision Domain, Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation at the Queensland University of Technology requires a Research Fellow to work within a program of research focused on investigating issues relevant to the development of refractive errors in children and adolescents, including research in the areas of epidemiology of refractive errors, ocular growth mechanisms, visual optics, visual psychophysics, retinal imagery or refractive error corrections.

The successful candidate will work with Institute researchers with an aim of contributing to the understanding of refractive error development in children and adolescents. The scope of the Institute's current program of research into refractive errors, and project team leaders, includes among others:


 1.  Optical and biometric characteristics of emmetropic and myopic eyes (Professor David Atchison);
 2.  The interaction of visual optics and eye growth (Professor Michael Collins);
 3.  Confocal microscopic examination of the cornea in refractive surgery (Professor Nathan Efron);
 4.  Retinal control of eye growth (Associate Professor Katrina Schmid);
 5.  Retinal mechanisms controlling visual function in myopia (Dr Andrew Zele).
