Job Title:
Post Doctoral Scholar
Department:
Optometry | Academics
A NIH funded Post Doctoral Scholar position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Nathan Doble in the College of Optometry/Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at The Ohio State University (OSU). The successful candidate will work within a highly collaborative research environment focused on the development and use of novel high-resolution optical instrumentation for the study of retinal structure and function. The candidate will be expected to assist with construction and validation of novel instrumentation as well as the collection and analysis of the experimental data; preparation of research results for publication and talks; writing the scientific manuscripts, progress reports, and participation in grant writing.
This particular project will be conducted in collaboration with the University of California, Davis to design and implement full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) for the study of structure and function of individual retinal neurons in the living human and murine eyes. As part of this work we have recently demonstrated a parallel line scanning ophthalmoscope capable of imaging the eye at 500 Hz provided exceptional imaging of single red blood cells (Lee et al. Biomedical Optics Express, 2024).
Additional Information:
Experience:
Candidate should have experience in the field of biomedical imaging or optics. Specifically, a background in development or application of optical instrumentation for the human retinal imaging would be particularly advantageous. Additionally, a high degree of proficiency in programming (e.g. Matlab, LabView, Python, C++, GPU or equivalent) and hardware control (e.g. high speed cameras and digital mirror devices) is required. Excellent communication and writing skills with a good balance of independence and collegiality in research are essential.
Education:
Doctorate in physics, biomedical physics, biomedical engineering, or electrical engineering.
Location:
Fry Hall (0059)
Position Type:
Term (Fixed Term)
Scheduled Hours:
40
Shift:
First Shift
Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check. A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process.
