POSITIONS AVAILABLE
The Miller Lab offers research opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, professional students, postdoctoral fellows, and sometimes professional staff. Interested candidates are invited to contact Professor Miller by e-mail (dtmiller@iu.edu).
GRADUATE STUDENTS (New !!)
A PhD student position is available in Don Miller’s laboratory on advanced ophthalmic imaging at Indiana University. The laboratory is looking for a highly motivated student in engineering, optical physics, or a related discipline with an interest to develop cutting-edge optical instrumentation to study noninvasively the retina at the cellular level. The laboratory’s primary focus is on the development and use of adaptive optics and optical coherence tomography, technologies the laboratory has been advancing for the past two decades.
The student position is part of the IU Vision Science Graduate Program. The Program includes a highly active group of multidisciplinary vision scientists, mostly from within the School of Optometry but also from Neuroscience, Psychology, Brain Science, Biology, and School of Engineering. Research areas include imaging, optics, neuroscience, visual development, visual psychophysics, biology and biophysics, and involve both basic science and translational studies. Students are supported through a combination of grants and teaching activities.
Application information can be found at https://optometry.iu.edu/admissions/apply/ms-phd-programs.html. A description of the PhD program is available at www.optometry.iu.edu/academics/degrees/phd.shtml. To inquire about the opening advertised here, please contact Don Miller (dtmiller@iu.edu).

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE/ POST DOCTORAL FELLOW (coming soon!)
Dr. Miller's laboratory is looking to fill a postdoctoral fellow or research associate position. The successful candidate will join a team of scientists and engineers that are developing adaptive optics–optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) for studying structure and function of the living human retina at the cellular level. The system is opening exciting new directions to study both normal and pathological vision.
The laboratory (www.opt.indiana.edu/dtmiller/Index.aspx) is part of an active and well-funded community of vision scientists and engineers working in the areas of visual optics, retinal imaging, OCT, and adaptive optics. A major aim of the group is to create advanced optical instrumentation for eye research.
Indiana University is a major research university founded in 1820. It currently enrolls over 32,000 undergraduates and 7,500 graduate and professional students on the Bloomington campus with over 110,000 students in the university system. The School of Optometry has very active research and graduate programs with numerous collaborations with other disciplines within the university. The School has several major teaching clinics as well as outreach affiliations. Bloomington is a relaxed community located in a beautifully wooded and hilly area of the state where cultural and recreational opportunities abound, housing costs are low, schools are excellent, and commuting time is short. More information about the School is available at www.optometry.iu.edu, and about the University at www.indiana.edu.
Qualifications for the position include a PhD and strong experimental background in OCT, adaptive optics, or a related area. Strong communication skills are critical. Experience with optical system design and construction, digital image processing (e.g., in Matlab), and Fourier optics are desirable. Knowledge of visual optics is not required, though beneficial. The project is supported by federal funding.
Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience. More details will be posted soon about how to apply. In the mean time, questions regarding the position or application process can be directed to Dr. Don Miller at dtmiller@iu.edu.
