Offer Description

International Centre for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) (MAB/2019/12)

The Project/Centre is funded by the International Research Agendas Programme of the Foundation for Polish Science. It is a collaboration between the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS and University College London, UK.

The International Center for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) is a multi-investigator center for eye research related to imaging and biochemical techniques to support advances in understanding the etiology and treatment of human blinding diseases. Further information on the research priorities and current expertise of our Center can be found at http://www.icter.pl. ICTER is looking for candidates with a PhD degree experienced in physics (optics and photonics) and biomedical engineering. Candidates should be interested in translational research and developing new therapies to cure blindness or other diseases. The postdoctoral researcher will have a direct impact on lab development and its success in publishing in high-impact factor journals. The person will also be responsible for performing dynamic research to create a competitive research group. The position will be assigned to the Optical Imaging Group led by Prof. Maciej Wojtkowski, focused on developing new imaging techniques aiming at achieving speckle-less imaging based on full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography for diagnosis, screening and monitoring of blinding eye diseases.
