We are seeking a Researcher interested in ocular biology to join the laboratory of Dr. Krish Kizhatil in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at The Ohio State University. We study glaucoma, a common ocular disease involving harmfully high intraocular pressure (IOP; pressure inside eye) and neural degeneration in the optic nerve and retina. Our goal is to find cures for glaucoma. Our strong interests include finding the molecules and mechanisms controlling normal intraocular pressure, the impact of age on these mechanisms. This includes molecular mechanisms controlling developmental and adult biology of structures controlling IOP the Schlemm’s canal and trabecular meshwork including mechanism by which neural control of IOP is accomplished including mechanotransduction and other cellular signaling pathways. In addition, new research will be initiated into finding resiliency factor to prevent neurodegeneration of the retinal ganglion cells. We are also interested in the role of transcription factors and other mutations in both ocular development and adult disease. We use an array of mouse models, genetic, viral, and physiologic approaches. The Kizhatil lab has also established collaborators at Columbian University, Duke University and Imperial College of London who are leaders in the field. We eventually hope to collaborate with physicians to translate our finding to the clinic.

The College of Nursing at The Ohio State University invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar position working with Dr. Michelle Failla. Dr. Failla’s research focuses on understanding the role of social communication in pain responses and management. The Failla lab is interested in studying pain in populations with differences in social communication, across the lifespan, from autism spectrum disorder to Alzheimer’s Disease. We work to understand how altered neural processing of pain may contribute to differences in expression or experience of pain. We use a variety of techniques such as psychophysics, neuroimaging, behavioral testing, and big-data approaches to investigate responses to physical pain.

The Postdoctoral Scholar will contribute to ongoing projects in Dr. Failla’s lab. Currently funded projects focus on autistic adults to characterize pain responses across adulthood using pain psychophysics and neuroimaging. The candidate will also be invited to design and implement new projects that are in line with both their own and Dr. Failla’s research interests. Finally, they will have opportunities to analyze existing data, to author and co-author manuscripts, and to gain exposure to and mentorship on grant writing.
