Job Details
The goal of the Sheffield eye movement lab at the University of Sheffield is to have a positive impact on the lives of individuals with nystagmus and other eye movement disorders. We also aim to improve public understanding of nystagmus through research and teaching that raises awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by those with nystagmus and to improve the information given to those newly diagnosed with the condition. Our overarching long-term goal is to improve the care pathway from diagnosis to treatment options. Projects that reflect the research priorities identified by people with nystagmus and published by the Nystagmus Network would be considered for PhD study. For details of these priorities see: http://www.nystagmusnet.org/cms/index.php/research
