[vslist] QUT (Brisbane, Australia), Senior Research Fellowship

[Leo Carney]

The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) is a new 
Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia) research facility 
integrating disciplines in health, biomedical science and biomedical 
engineering. Three new research positions are on offer, one of which is in 
vision.

The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation will address a range of 
future global health challenges that confront both individuals and 
populations. It will provide an exciting environment to address complex 
multidisciplinary challenges and projects drawing upon the different and 
varied discipline specific strengths of the University. The Institute will 
be QUT's largest research centre, in time comprising some 400 researchers.

A Senior Research Fellow is required to develop and support the vision 
research activities. The vision research group within IHBI conducts 
research in a number of areas, including ophthalmic optics, optics of the 
eye, retinal image reconstruction, mechanisms of ocular growth control and 
refractive error development, and visual performance studies such as vision 
and driving and vision and falls. This new position will lead to further 
development of research activity in one or more of these areas. Emphasis is 
placed on collaborative research both with others in the vision research 
group and with other groups within IHBI.
