<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">We are seeking individuals interested in visual processing in normal and clinical populations, with emphasis in one or more of the following areas: visual development,
strabismus and amblyopia, eye movements, visual attention, brain plasticity, mobility, low-vision/blindness rehabilitation and accessibility technologies, using approaches such as psychophysics, eye and head tracking, clinical assessment, computational modeling,
EEG, fMRI, computer vision and sensor technologies.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">Smith-Kettlewell is a uniquely attractive place to receive postdoctoral training in vision research and related fields. Our program offers the flexibility to design an
individualized training plan tailored to achieve each fellow’s specific career goals. We train fellows to become independent scientists, with strong support and encouragement for fellows to propose and pursue their own research in close collaboration and mentorship
with one or more of our experienced principal investigators. Many of our fellows have successfully established their own funded research programs with fruitful and fulfilling careers.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">The fellowships require a Ph.D. or M.D. and are normally awarded for two years, with our most successful fellows often being invited to continue as sponsored investigators.
