The Section for Functional Vision Research at the University Medical Center in Freiburg, Germany, is looking for a

Scientist or Doctoral Researcher with experience in vision science

The position will be in a project on reliable classification of vision-impaired athletes and is available immediately, starting date to be negotiated. Applicants with any relevant background (e.g. optometry, psychology, neuroscience, medical engineering) are invited to apply. Preferably, applicants should have a master's degree (optionally doctoral degree), but excellent candidates with a bachelor's degree will also be considered.

Main tasks include development and experimental validation of novel vision tests, writing publications, project coordination, and supervision of research assistants. Primary techniques are EEG/ERP and psychophysics. Good English language skills are important. Basic knowledge of German will be an advantage. Occasional travel will be required. An outgoing personality will be beneficial for the planned field experiments. Inquire for details.

The ideal candidate has experience in some of the following fields:

** EEG and/or psychophysics
** basic optometry (acuity, refraction, etc.), visual impairments
** statistics, scientific writing, project management

We are an interdisciplinary lab with a long track record in developing and refining techniques for visual performance testing and we conduct research in various fields of vision science, linking basic research and clinical applications with a methodological focus on human electrophysiology, psychophysics, and eye movements. Recently, we moved to new well-equipped state-of-the- art facilities.

The position (part-time 50 %) is offered for 2 years fixed term.

Applications including CV, publication list (if applicable), short statement of motivation and relevant skills, reference letters, and possible starting date should be sent preferably by email as a single pdf file of moderate size.
