Dear Vision Science community,

The University of Houston (UH) seeks an outstanding biomedical researcher to join other vision scientists on the faculty in the Department of Vision Sciences in its College of Optometry (http://www.opt.uh.edu/).  A tenured/tenure-track position at the assistant, associate, or full professor level is available for an exceptional biomedical researcher focused on the biological control mechanisms of refractive error and myopia. Applicants engaging in translational research with relevant animal models are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct a nationally recognized, independent, externally funded research program. More details on the position and the directions to apply via the UH jobs website can be found at the link below.

The successful applicant will join a group of vision researchers studying normal and abnormal visual processes, using a variety of approaches ranging from molecular and cellular, to behavioral and optical. The research program is supported by a P30 core grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI), which provides technical support for instrumentation and optical design, programming and application development, biostatistics, histology, and biomedical imaging capabilities. A T35 training grant also supports research training for professional students. The patient base provides opportunities for patient-based or translational investigations. Existing biomedical research strengths within the College, University, and the neighboring Texas Medical Center provide a unique environment for collaboration.

Please contact, Dr. Vallabh Das, Dept. Chair of Vision Sciences at vdas at Central.UH.EDU<mailto:vdas at Central.UH.EDU> or Dr. Wendy Harrison, Search Committee Chair at wwharris at central.uh.edu<mailto:wwharris at Central.UH.EDU> should you have any follow-up questions. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.  For fullest consideration by the committee, applications should be received by December 31, 2025.

Thank you,

Vallabh Das
