USA Scholarship Programs by The University of California Davis

New information USA scholarship at The University of California Davis, availability of NEI-sponsored postdoctoral fellowships in vision science. The starting date is flexible, with the first round of applicants to be chosen in February or March.

UC Davis has 33 faculty in the vision sciences with research programs in (i) molecular biology and genetics, (ii) anatomy and physiology, (iii) retinal imaging and bioengineering, (iv) central mechanism neurophysiology and behavior, and (v) functional imaging, computational modeling and psychophysics.



The vision sciences at UC Davis supports research in the basic sciences and translational research in ophthalmology, all with a highly interactive and colleagial faculty. Davis itself is a friendly, medium-sized college town close to the cultural attractions of the Bay Area and recreational opportunities from Big Sur to the Sierra Nevada and Yosemite.

Initial inquiries should be made with a potential sponsor (for a faculty list see the Center for Visual Sciences web site: http://cvs.ucdavis.edu/) and copied to the training director (jswerner@ucdavis.edu). A CV and letters of reference will be required for formal application.

Candidates or applicants with any type of doctoral degree (e.g., DVD, MD, OD, PhD) will be considered. Applicants for these particular positions must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States. (Other postdoctoral positions may have few restrictions so all are encouraged to inquire.) The University of California is committed to diversity and minority applications are strongly encouraged.
