OFFER DESCRIPTION

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

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

The International Centre for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) is a multi-investigator centre for eye research as related to imaging and biochemical techniques to support advances in understanding the etiology and treatment and human blinding diseases. Further information on the research priorities and current expertise of our Centre 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 data analysis. Candidates should be interested in translational research and the development of new therapies to cure blindness or other diseases. The candidate will have a direct impact on lab development and its success in publishing in high-impact factor journals. The person will be also responsible for performing dynamic research to create a competitive research group. The position will be assigned to 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.

Key responsibilities include:

1. Implementation and development of data processing algorithms (Matlab/Python/C++)
2. Designing and .prototyping new processing approaches/algorithms for structural and functional (blood flow) human eye renderings from 4D datasets.
