[Kremers, Jan]

Post-doctoral position available in Erlangen.

The laboratory for retinal physiology seeks a Postdoctoral Scholar to work with Dr. Cord Huchzermeyer on projects in optimizing outcome parameters of photoreceptor- and post-receptoral-specific function for clinical trials in patients with inherited retinal diseases

The project is financed by the German Research Council (DFG) and the post-doctoral position at the laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology (Dept. of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Erlangen) is available for three years. The project is supervised by PD Dr. Cord Huchzermeyer.

The aim of the project is to study photoreceptoral and post-receptoral mechanisms with psychophysical procedures involving novel stimulus methods and to develop new psychophysical techniques and analysis methods to study changes in the mentioned mechanisms in patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). The results of these studies should ultimately be used to monitor the effects of new therapies for IRDs.

There is a close interaction other groups in Germany. In addition, the laboratory is closely linked to the group of Jan Kremers at the Department of Ophthalmology where electrophysiological measurements are performed in human subjects and in animals.

We offer:

  *   Interesting opportunities for scientific development in a competitive lab with a good track record of external funding
