[visionlist] Postdoc opportunity: Quantifying self-reported visual performance in ultra-low vision

[Gislin Dagnelie]

The prosthetic low vision rehabilitation (PLoVR) lab at the Johns 
Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore, MD, USA, is conducting 
NIH-sponsored studies to develop an ultra-low vision rehabilitation 
curriculum.  As part of this project we are using activity self-reports 
by retinal prosthesis wearers and individuals with ultra-low vision to 
extend existing item difficulty scales for visual activities of daily 
living.  We have an immediate opening for a post-doctoral fellow with 
specific training in item response theory and Rasch analysis to take on 
quantitative analytic aspects of the project.
Formal training and/or experience in experimental psychology, 
psychophysics of vision, low vision research, occupational therapy, 
speech and language pathology and/or statistical modeling, and a PhD 
in any of these areas will be important qualifiers in considering 
applicants for this position.
Duration of this position is for 1 year initially, but can be 
extended.  Salary and benefits will be in accordance with NIH and 
JHU norms.
Qualified candidates are encouraged to contact the PI, Gislin Dagnelie 
gdagnelie at jhmi.edu as soon as possible.
