TWO “Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher” (PhD) open positions in Visual Optics at the “Laboratorio de Optica, Universidad de Murcia”, Murcia, Spain.
We invite applications for TWO - three year Early Stage Researcher (PhD student) positions being part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network ‘Optical and Adaptational Limits of Vision” (OpAL) in Murcia, Spain. The positions are funded by the European Commission in the framework of the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network ‘OpAL’. The OpAL projects aim at training young scientists at the interface of physics and biology, with focus on optical issues, tackling the limits of visual performance.
The projects will address different problems on how the optical properties of the eye are related to vision.
Employment as a PhD student has a highly competitive salary. The positions includes allowances for mobility, travel and career exploration as well as funds to participate in training activities of the OpAL network and in (international) conferences.
The “Laboratorio de Optica de la Universidad de Murcia” (LO.UM) is one of the world leaders research groups in visual optics and biomedical applications of Adaptive Optics. The lab is based in a new building and equipped with state of the art technology for advanced experiments: deformable mirrors, spatial light modulators, femtosecond lasers… This provides an excellent training opportunity for PhD students. Information on the research activities of the LO.UM can be obtained through the web page: http://lo.um.es; and on Murcia (Murcia is the Region capital city located in the south-est of Spain, 40 km from the Mediterranean sea) from the University of Murcia web page: http://www.um.es/english/general-inf.php.
