Postdoctoral position at UC Berkeley on wavefront analysis of ocular
aberrations
and ocular accommodation.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position (minimum 2
years) in the laboratory
of Clifton Schor (http://schorlab.berkeley.edu) in the Vision Science
group at the
University of California, School of Optometry, Berkeley California.
Our laboratory investigates neural plasticity of oculomotor
control. The current project,
funded by NEI, examines adaptation of ocular accommodation in
response to age-related
biomechanical changes of the ocular lens in incipient presbyopia and
the effects of
adaptation on the interactions between accommodation and convergence
that control
binocular eye alignment. Studies will be of pre-presbyopes and of
patients with
surgically implanted accommodating intra-ocular lenses (A-IOLs).
Applicant's activities include running experiments with a dynamic
Hartman-Shack wave-
front sensor and the SRI dual-Purkinje eye tracker, analyzing ocular
aberrations,
modeling adaptability of dynamic accommodation and its interactions
with convergence.
Preference will be given to applicants with a background in optics
and/or motor control,
and some familiarity with MATLAB.
The Vision Science group at Berkeley is highly interactive and there
are opportunities for
collaboration with other labs working in related areas.
To apply, please send CV, statement of interest, and the names and
contact information
of two references to Clifton Schor (email [log in to unmask]).
Consideration of
applications will begin immediately, and will end when the position is filled.
