Postdoctoral Positions at University of Rochester: Visual Optics and 
Psychophysics

Postdoc positions are available to conduct studies in the field of 
visual optics and psychophysics in Geunyoung Yoon's Advanced 
Physiological Optics Laboratory at the University of Rochester Flaum 
Eye Institute.

Our previous work found evidence indicating that long-term visual 
deprivation caused by the eye's optical defects gradually alters 
human visual processing. The objective of the project is to 
understand the limits of human vision by studying the relative 
contribution of optical and neural factors to neural processing of 
images formed by the optics of the eye. The project will use various 
advanced correction methods including adaptive optics vision 
simulator, customized ophthalmic lenses and corneal surgery that have 
been validated previously. The project is also expanded to presbyopia 
correction and binocular vision. The candidate will further be given 
opportunity to learn/be involved in other translational research in 
the laboratory including high-resolution corneal and anterior segment 
imaging, multimodal human tear imaging for dry eye research and 
corneal biomechanics.

The position is available immediately and applications will be 
considered until the position has been filled. Enthusiastic 
candidates with prior research experience in Optics and/or Visual 
Psychophysics are invited to apply and should be proficient in spoken 
and written English. Applications should include CV, one-page 
statement of research experience and interests, and contact details 
of three references. Please send application to Prof. Geunyoung Yoon
