Position Available
University of Rochester Department of Ophthalmology and Center for Visual
Science

A research faculty position (non-tenure track) is available immediately in the
laboratory of Dr. David Calkins, Department of Ophthalmology and Center for
Visual Science, University of Rochester Medical Center. Research in the
laboratory focuses on genetic modulation of retinal circuits in health and
disease, with special emphasis on (1) structure-function relationships in
primate retina and (2) neuronal-glial interactions in glaucoma. Experimental
approaches include patch-clamp physiology, single-cell RT-PCR,
immunocytochemistry, cell-culture and electron microscopy. Preference will be
given to candidates with expertise in either patch-clamp physiology or
molecular genetics and a desire to develop an independent line of investigation
in the laboratory's area of focus. A PhD, demonstrated English language
proficiency, and postdoctoral experience are required.

The Department of Ophthalmology and Center for Visual Science are part of an
exciting biomedical research community at the University of Rochester Medical
Center, with opportunity for growth within the recently initiated Rochester Eye
Institute. Qualified candidates should send via email a CV, statement of
research interests, and the names of 2-3 references to:
