<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate or Senior Research Associate in the research group of Andrew Stockman and Christopher Dainty at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology
in London to join an existing, ongoing project funded by the BBSRC. The project is to build, program and operate a high-performance adaptive optics (AO) visual stimulator and then to use it to test visual performance at and beyond the usual optical and neural
limits. The instrument is near completion and we expect the postholder to be able to complete construction and testing within 6 months. In the last phase of the project, we and the postholder will use the device to make psychophysical measurements of human
visual performance. The successful candidate should have a first degree in physics or engineering and a Ph.D. in a field related to optics and/or vision research. Experience in optical engineering and in the design and construction of optical instruments is
essential. In addition, experience with optical design software (e.g., Zemax), computer programming (e.g., MatLab or Python) and the generation of visual stimuli (e.g., using PsychToolbox or PsychoPy) is desirable. Experience with human perceptual or psychological
measurements, computer modelling and electronics would all be assets. Quantitative and English writing skills and a strong scientific background with laboratory experience are essential. We will consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job
share basis wherever possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The post is from 1st September, 2018. The appointment will be either at the Research Associate level (</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Grade 7: £34,635 - £41,864 per
annum) or at the Senior Research Associate level (Grade 8 £43,023 per annum) </span>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">depending on qualifications and experience. The post is funded by the BBSRC for 1 year.
