[vslist] Postdoc at SUNY Optometry: Optical signals for accommodation & emmetropization

[PKXX at aol.com]

Postdoctoral position: Optical signals for accommodation & emmetropization.
 
A postdoctoral position, funded by the National Eye Institute of NIH, is 
available for work on the optical signals, mechanisms and neural pathways 
that control ocular accommodation and emmetropization.
 
Experiments will examine the focussing response of the eye to light vergence, 
and the pathways that mediate the response to light vergence and chromatic 
aberration. The investigation includes alteration of the Stiles-Crawford 
effect by imaging apodizing filters in the pupil. Accommodation is monitored 
continuously while the optical stimulus is manipulated in both pupil and 
target planes. The applicant will maintain and calibrate optometers and 
stimulus systems, produce apodizing filters,supervise and participate in data 
collection and analysis, and collaborate in preparation of manuscripts. A 
background in optics, ophthalmology or optometry is preferred. Salary will be 
commensurate with training and experience.
 
The successful applicant will be employed by the Research Foundation of the 
State University of New York, and work at the State College of Optometry in 
Manhattan. The Research Foundation is an equal opportunity employer.
