<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to play a key role in our project to investigate Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS). The main approach will be through psychophysics, with the
aim of developing quantitative measures of visual function that bridge the gap between the subjective phenomena described by patients and potential underlying mechanisms. The project involves a team of researchers, clinicians, and partner organisations, and
is supported by CIHR Project Grant funding.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our goal is for these findings to: i) advance our scientific understanding of VSS, ii) form a basis for the development of objective tools to diagnose and quantify its severity,
and iii) point the way toward future management or treatment approaches. We will also apply our methods in related clinical populations (e.g. Migraine) that overlap with VSS.</span></p>
