Tenure-track Vision Science Faculty Positions
University of Houston
College of Optometry
The University of Houston seeks two outstanding vision scientists to join
the Department of Basic Sciences faculty in its College of Optometry, which
is internationally recognized for its clinical and research faculty (see
http://www.opt.uh.edu/ <http://www.opt.uh.edu/> for details). Tenure-track
positions are open both for a promising assistant or associate professor,
and for a full professor with a distinguished record of scholarly activity
and with administrative experience who could serve as Chair of the Basic
Science Department in the professional Optometry program, or as the
College's Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. The successful
applicants will bring expertise that complements the vision researchers
presently in the College and University who are supported by a P30 core
grant, and T32 and T35 training grants from the National Eye Institute.
One position is available for a scientist with expertise in investigations
of visual processing, and especially in studies that apply principles or
investigate mechanisms of human color vision. The ideal candidate for this
position would carry out psychophysical, physiological, imaging, and/or
molecular studies of the visual capabilities of humans or relevant animal
models. The applicant also would teach aspects of vision science, including
characteristics and mechanisms of color vision in our College's optometry
curriculum and graduate program.
The second position is for a scientist with expertise in molecular and cell
biology of the eye or central visual pathways. The ideal candidate would
carry out studies on ocular development, disease mechanisms, or novel
pharmacological or genetic approaches to neuroprotection. Experience in
development of mammalian animal models is desirable. This applicant also
would teach molecular and cell biology in the College's optometry curriculum
and graduate program.
The successful candidates will be expected to conduct an independent,
externally funded research program in vision science. Candidates are
expected to have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and a strong record of high
productivity at their current rank. Salary and rank will be commensurate
with the candidate's qualifications. To apply, please send a Curriculum
Vita, a one to two page description of your research experience, interests
and long-term goals, representative reprints, and the names and contact
information for three references to:
Earl L. Smith III, O.D., Ph.D.
Dean
University of Houston
College of Optometry
505 J. Davis Armistead Building
Houston, Texas 77204-2020
713-743-1899 esmith@uh.edu.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the
positions are filled.
The University of Houston is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer. Minorities, women, veterans and persons with disabilities are
encouraged to apply.
