Postdoctoral Position - Optical imaging of retinal neural activities - University of Alabama, USA

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Biomedical Optics and Retinal Imaging Laboratory at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), University of Alabama (UAB). Our project will combine multichannel electrophysiological measurement and high resolution imaging of retinal neural activities for better understanding of the retinal function. The position is partially supported by the Eyesight Foundation of Alabama.

The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in vision science, neurobiology, or other related disciplines. Demonstrated excellence in electrophysiological study of neural systems is required. Proficiency in programming using Labview, IDL, or Matlab is a plus. Self motivation and creativity are highly desirable.

The position is supervised by Dr. Xincheng Yao (BME department, UAB), in collaboration with Dr. Lei Liu (Optometry Department, UAB) and other colleagues in the Vision Science Research Center, UAB. The candidate would have excellent opportunities to interact with researchers in Engineering, Neurophysiology, and Vision Science for a multi- & interdisciplinary research training.

Application

Interested applicants should send application materials to Dr. Xincheng Yao (xcyuab.edu). The application materials should include: a brief summary of research background, interests, and a current CV with contact information of at least three references.
