Job Description:

A clinical research post-doctoral position is available starting April or May, 
working with Drs. Gislin Dagnelie and Ava Bittner (Department of 
Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins University; Wilmer Eye Institute) to assist 
with two new research projects.  

One project will study the natural course of visual field progression in patients 
with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) based on retrospective review of test 
results obtained from retinal specialists at academic research centers. The 
second project will validate recently developed vision tests (e.g. Octopus 
kinetic perimetry; color vision) for use in clinical trials for patients with LCA or 
retinitis pigmentosa.  

The candidate must hold a MD, OD or PhD degree, and have a background 
in Ophthalmology, Optometry or vision research. 

Qualifications:
Candidates with strong communication skills, who are highly motivated to 
learn about vision measures in patients with inherited retinal diseases and 
have experience with visually impaired patients in clinical or research settings 
are encouraged to apply. The applicant should be able to execute research 
activities including literature study, subject recruitment, data collection, 
evaluation, analyses, and manuscript synthesis. Applicants must have 
current legal status to work in the US.  

Please e-mail (1) a current CV and (2) a cover letter describing experience 
and interests related to working with patients with visual impairment and/or 
clinical research, and names and contact information for three references to: 
Gislin Dagnelie <gislin at jhu.edu> and Ava Bittner <abittne1 at jhmi.edu>
