The Visual Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Auckland is now
accepting applications for students interested in obtaining a PhD degree
studying anatomy and physiology of the mammalian retina.  The =
scholarship is
for 3 years study in the Department of Optometry & Vision Science and
includes a living stipend plus a contribution towards fees. =20

Several collaborative projects are underway in the VNL both within the
University and abroad aimed at understanding retinal information =
processing
from gene expression in single retinal neurons to biophysical analyses =
of
retinal receptive field properties. The VNL is equipped for carrying out
cutting edge experiments using whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology,
single cell RT-PCR, and fluorescence microscopy.  Additional facilities =
for
confocal and electron microscopy, microarray printing and reading, as =
well
as quantitative RT-PCR are available in neighboring labs or through core
facilities at the university.=20

Vision science at the University of Auckland is a growing enterprise =
with
more than 10 independent laboratories interested in a wide variety of =
vision
science topics such as retinal anatomy & physiology, retinal =
biochemistry &
pathology, retinal development, myopia, corneal anatomy & pathology, =
lens
physiology & pathology and central visual pathways.=20

The University of Auckland has recently been named as New Zealand's =
premiere
research university with more than 33,000 undergraduate, graduate and
professional students. The university is located at the center of =
Auckland,
the largest Polynesian city in the world with a population of over 1.2
million residents. Many cultural institutions call Auckland their home =
and
provide free, outdoor entertainment throughout the summer. Auckland is =
an
exciting and beautiful place to live with natural attractions only =
minutes
from the city center.
