Postdoctoral research opportunity for graduate students The Glaucoma Research Team (headed by Prof. Dr. Gabor Hollo) of the Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University is seeking for a graduate candidate for a 3-year postdoctoral glaucoma imaging research. The PhD fellow may or may not be financially supported from the University or any formal educational body. Research theme: Clinical - biological - imaging examinations of retinal ganglion cell apoptosis in glaucoma. An ideal candidate is graduated in general medicine or biology, a hard worker, has basic statistical knowledge and technical skills for data processing, and is experienced in research.
