Dear Colleagues,

My apologies to those who receive this twice.

In January 2003, I will be moving to the Medical College of Georgia (MCG), 
in Augusta, Georgia to join the faculty. Later I will post detailed contact 
information. This message is to give informal notice that I will be 
recruiting a lab group at levels from tenure-track junior faculty to 
post-docs to research assistants. This is not an official notice, because I 
have not yet gone through the necessary official channels. However, I will 
be available at the upcoming Neuroscience meeting for interviews and 
discussions with potential candidates. I will be staying at the Peabody 
Orlando Hotel, 9801 International Drive, Orlando FL 32819 from Sunday night 
through Thursday morning.
MCG is the state medical school of Georgia, and it has both PhD and MD/PhD 
training programs as well as traditional medical training. I expect that 
there will be rapid further development of research and training in 
neuroscience.
My laboratory will have two major research programs, one on the study of 
visual pathway function in alert monkeys, and the other on the effects of 
aging on the human retina, with special emphasis on the macular pigment. 
Some slightly outdated descriptions of these programs can be found on my 
home page, listed below.
For the studies with alert monkeys, I am interested in developing models of 
neuronal function that predict how neurons respond during viewing of 
natural images, including the contributions of retinal image motions 
associated with normal eye movements. Applications from candidates with a 
strong quantitative background, combining expertise in modeling with 
experience in physiological experimentation would be especially welcome.
For the human studies, I am interested in developing psychophysical tests 
of visual function that can be used to monitor changes with age. We want to 
relate the functional changes to the nutritional state of the retina and 
other lifestyle factors. We have a special interest in age-related macular 
degeneration and the possibility of nutritional intervention to prevent or 
retard this disease.
For the yankees who are reading this, let me tell you that the monkeys 
sometimes get to go outside, so they like it a lot better there. For that 
matter, so do a lot of people.
