- ** Job Description
**** OVERVIEW:
** The position is to support, manage, direct and perform multiple research projects related to the neurobiology of the human and non-human primate retina in relation to discovering normal structure and function and how the retina is altered in common degenerative diseases such as macular degeneration and Alzheimer's disease. The position requires extensive doctoral level expertise and experience in vision science, retinal neurobiology and advanced connectomic methods and related data analyses skills including advanced statistics, MATLAB and Python programming skills.
** RESPONSIBILITIES:
** 50% Independent management, direction and performance of a project to determine the connectome of the non-human primate, specifically the MARMOSET foveal retina.

Major duties and responsibilities include but may not be limited to:1) composition and submission of grant proposals and progress reports to NIH based on a comprehensive knowledge and experience in the field of retinal neurobiology, connectomics and human vision;2) Working closely with EM technicians to create raw image data for multiple marmoset connectomes;3) Working with programmers to provide AI-based automated connectome creation and to build and enhance work spaces for a collaborative community of scientists with the goal of detailed analysis of created connectomes;4) Defining specific projects and organizing collaborations to achieve the long range goals and specific aims of funded NIH grants.
5) Analysis of connectomic data, direction of collaborators (including senior scientists, AI companies, postdoctoral fellows and students) and composition of manuscripts, creation of detailed figures and submission of manuscripts for publication in scientific journals;6) Tracking progress on scientific aims and productivity and composing progress reports to NIH;7) Considering scientific outcomes and if needed independently reorienting grant aims to maximize scientific progress and long term goals.
