Postdoctoral Fellow
Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Psychophysics and Visual Electrophysiology Full-time NEW
A postdoctoral position is open within the Thematic Project “Mechanisms, Genetics, and Performance of the Visual System: Clinical Research in Humans and Animal Experimentation,” coordinated by Professor Dora Fix Ventura, for the development of the research project summarized below. The project will investigate visual losses in Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a progressive degenerative retinal condition whose evolution leads to severe impairment of central vision. From a functional perspective, it is hypothesized that both structural retinal alterations, such as those occurring in AMD, and transient physiological states, such as those associated with night-shift work, may impact visual system performance.
The research will employ psychophysical, electrophysiological, physiological, cognitive, and biological marker assessments to evaluate visual function and investigate these clinical conditions and contextual factors.
Applicants should hold a recent PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related field in Visual Neuroscience. Experience in electrophysiology, visual psychophysics, psychological and neuropsychological assessment is desirable. Interested candidates should send their CV and a cover letter to Professor Dora Fix Ventura at dventura@usp.br, indicating “FAPESP process 2022/00191-0” in the subject line.
