An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available at Vanderbilt Eye Institute to investigate glaucoma pathogenesis. The central hypothesis is that tissue biomechanics and microstructure play key roles in optic nerve pathologies such as glaucoma. The candidate will use newly created mouse models with biomechanical and microstructural defects to test the hypothesis using multi-modal techniques, including atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, electrophysiology, optical coherence tomography and behavioral assays of visual function. Ample opportunities will be provided to master these cutting-edge techniques in a highly collaborative environment with investigators within and outside the Vanderbilt community. The ideal candidate would have training in eye research using animal models and/or have training in some of the above- listed experimental approaches as well as possess excellent communication skills. The individual must be highly motivated and able to work independently as well as be part of a team. Vanderbilt Eye institute offers a collaborative and well-equipped environment. Recent PhDs or advanced postdocs are welcome to apply. Applicants should email a CV to: rachel.kuchtey@vumc.org. |
