A postdoctoral position to apply and develop new applications of two-photon excited fluorescence imaging in the living eye is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jennifer Hunter. Research will include development of two-photon excited fluorescence ophthalmoscopy to non-invasively assess cellular metabolism and function in the living eye. Changes to important properties of excited retinal fluorophores (spectra, lifetime, etc.) in response to environmental alterations such as visual stimulation, pharmacological manipulation, or injury will be recorded in vivo at a single-cell level. Further, we will be developing capabilities to measure the redox ratio in the retina of living primates.
Candidates with a strong background in physiological optics, retinal physiology, microscope development and/or retinal imaging are encouraged to apply. Experience with optical alignment and MATLAB programming is highly desirable. Applicants should have a Ph.D. or equivalent training. Senior graduate students nearing completion of their degree are strongly encouraged to apply. Opening is available immediately and position will remain open until qualified individual is identified. Appointment is for 1 year and may be extended up to 3 years depending on progress and review.
The successful applicant will join the Advanced Retinal Imaging Alliance (ARIA) of the University of Rochester (
http://aria.cvs.rochester.edu/).The University of Rochester offers a highly collaborative and stimulating research environment with opportunities for interactions and training in imaging and visual science including the Center for Visual Science (
http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/), the Flaum Eye Institute (
http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/eye-institute/) and the Institute of Optics (
http://www.optics.rochester.edu/). ARIA, CVS and FEI provide access to a large technical staff including programmers and engineers to help with research needs.
Interested applicants should send CV and names/contact information of three references to
[hidden email]. Please include a cover letter detailing your current research activities, expertise and the reasons for your interest in this position.
