[Pablo Artal]

Two PhD student positions are open at the “Laboratorio de Optica” at 
University of Murcia, Spain (http://lo.um.es) within the ACTIVA project, 
“Advanced Customized Technologies for Intact Vision in Ageing”, funded 
by EC MSCA Doctoral Network (www.kth.se/activa). ACTIVA provides 
international training at the interface of physics, optics and medicine 
to develop novel techniques facilitating intact vision with age. The PhD 
students should have a background in applied physics, optical 
engineering, vision science, electrical engineering, or a related 
discipline relevant for the project.

There are two separate work packages where each fellow will join: ​
- “Using infrared pulsed light as a diagnosis tool"
- “Wearable opto-electronic devices for vision correction”​

Required qualifications and experience:
- MSc degree in optics, physics, electrical engineering or
related topic.
- Previous work experience in experimental and instrumental optics will 
be useful.
- Previous experience in optical design and modeling will be an asset.
- Spanish language is NOT required.

Benefits:
The EU provides 36 months of support with a highly competitive salary.
The candidate will have the opportunity to interact with other 
researcher in the "Laboratorio de Optica"  and the MSCA Network as well 
as participate in international conferences.
We offer research training with workshops and secondments at European 
universities and companies. ​The European Commission requires that the 
candidates must not have a doctoral degree and must not have resided or 
carried out their main activity in Spain for more than 12 months during 
the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment date. Candidates can be 
of any nationality.

Selection:
Doctoral candidates will be selected based on scientific qualification 
and experience, research interest, additional knowledge/skills, and 
their motivation to participate in an intersectoral research-training 
program.
Please send your CV, a 1-page cover letter, and the contact details of 
two academic referees to:
Prof. Pablo Artal (pablo at um.es)
