MARGARET OGILVIE'S PROFESSORSHIP OF OPHTHALMOLOGY

Applications are invited for the above post, tenable from 1 October 2003, or such later date as may be arranged.

The potential areas of interest could include transplantation immunology/stem-cell research; angiogenesis; molecular genetics and gene therapy; biomaterials and bioengineering; and epidemiology. This list does not, however, exclude those with other interests such as major clinical problems in eye disease, the biology of retinal disease and repair, and neuro-ophthalmology.

A non-stipendiary Fellowship at Linacre College is attached to the Professorship.
