[visionlist] Postdoctoral Position at UAB Ophthalmology

[MiYoung Kwon]

**Apologies for multiple postings**

The laboratory of MiYoung Kwon (http://labs.uab.edu/kwon/ <http://labs.uab.edu/kwon/>) in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to participate in an NIH-funded project.

This project aims to investigate how glaucomatous damage impacts central & peripheral vision and to apply this knowledge to guide the development of effective rehabilitative strategies for enhancing everyday visual function in glaucoma. The research will involve psychophysical, eye tracking, retinal imaging techniques (e.g., OCT), and computational investigations in individuals with glaucoma and normal vision. There are also opportunities to learn fMRI and EEG.

The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D., preferably with a specialization in vision research; proficiency in computer programming (MATLAB/PsychToolBox and/or Python) and computational/statistical analysis; experience with human visual psychophysics and eye tracking. Experience with retinal imaging techniques or a background in clinical vision would be considered a plus.

The position is available immediately. Initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of further extensions. Pay will follow the NIH payscale.

For more information, contact MiYoung Kwon at kwon at uab.edu <mailto:kwon at uab.edu>. Interested applicants should send (in a single PDF file) their CV, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for 3 references. Consideration of applications will begin immediately and will end when the position is filled.

The lab is conveniently located in the UAB Callahan Eye hospital clinic, which provides easy access to a variety of patient populations and theoretical/clinical expertise from ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, and optical imaging/biomedical engineers.  

Best, 

MiYoung
