KNOOP JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

The College proposes to make an election to this Junior Research Fellowship, tenable from 1 September 2000, or another date by agreement, for one year in the first instance. The Fellowship is to be held in conjunction with a position in the Department of Ophthalmology, involving research work in the general area of ocular neurobiology, with the aim of developing pharmacological agents to treat glaucoma and other diseases that affect retinal cells. It will be particularly suitable for graduates in physiology and biochemistry with a strong interest in vision. Candidates with experience in basic molecular biology procedures are particularly encouraged to apply. The Fellowship is open to men and women and carries a stipend of £16,286, together with common table rights (five lunches a week).

Applicants should have submitted their doctoral dissertations by the date of taking up the appointment or have obtained the D.Phil. or Ph.D., or equivalent within the last five years, but the College will exercise flexibility in the case of applicants whose academic careers have been interrupted.

Applications (marked Knoop JRF) should include a full curriculum vitae and the names of two referees, and should be addressed to the Master, St Cross College, Oxford, OX1 3LZ. The closing date for applications is 30 June 2000. Applicants should ask their referees to send references direct to the Master by that date. Further details about scientific aspects can be obtained from Professor N. N. Osborne, Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Walton Street, Oxford, OX2 6AW (tel. 01865 248996).

The College is an equal opportunities employer.
