Job Description The University of Nevada, Reno is seeking a motivated and innovative Postdoctoral Scholar to lead a project on how light regulates vascular function within the choroid, a newly discovered mechanism that may control metabolic waste clearance from the retina in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The fellow will be responsible for designing and performing experiments using a range of advanced physiological and imaging techniques. These approaches include ex vivo pressurized vascular and intact tissue preparations, high-resolution confocal and two-photon Ca2+ imaging, targeted photostimulation, pharmacological and molecular interrogation of cellular signaling pathways, controlled environmental exposure in animal models, and spatial transcriptomics. Beyond experimental execution, the postdoctoral fellow will be involved in all aspects of the research process: formulating hypotheses, developing and refining protocols, conducting rigorous data collection and analysis, interpreting findings within the broader scientific context, and preparing manuscripts for publication. The fellow will be encouraged to develop independent research directions aligned with the lab’s core interests, pursue extramural funding, contribute to grant proposals, and gain leadership experience through the training and mentorship of graduate students, undergraduate students, and other research trainees within a supportive and collaborative research environment. Required Qualifications PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in Physiology, Vision Science, Neuroscience, Cell Biology, or a closely related field. Demonstrated research experience in ocular biology, retinal or choroidal physiology, or related areas of vision research. Completion of a doctoral degree in the appropriate discipline is required.
