Two postdoc positions in customized vision correction and dry eye research
Two postdoc positions are available to conduct customized vision correction study and dry eye research in Geunyoung Yoon’s Lab in the University of Rochester Eye Institute.
The first position is available to work on developing customized contact lenses. This project uses wavefront sensors, adaptive optics and lens design methods to optimize correction performance with the lenses in both normal and highly aberrated eyes. The project also involves various experiments evaluating optical quality and on-eye performance of the lenses.
The second position is available to conduct dry eye research led by the multidisciplinary research team. The goal of the study is to objectively characterize the tear film by measuring tear parameters including the tear dynamics and its impact on visual quality, tear thickness and volume, and thickness and refractive index of the lipid layer. The project further investigates the relationship between these parameters and dry eye symptoms. The project uses the custom-built multimodal tear imaging system that consists of wavefront sensor, ocular surface optical coherence tomography and ellipsometer.
Successful candidates for both positions must have significant background in Optics. Experience in physiological optics, especially, assessing optical quality of the eye and tear film imaging is desirable although it is not necessary. Applicants should submit a CV, a brief statement of research experience and interest, and names of three references to:
