The study is funded by the MRC, and the post is available immediately, for three years. We have a cohort of 64 young children with Down's Syndrome, throughout South and West Wales.
All testing is carried out in home visits, and a departmental car is available.
The visual assessments are carried out by an Optometrist already on the team. The project is in collaboration with the Welsh Centre for Learning Disability, and there will be ample opportunity for the post-doc associate to collaborate on other projects, and to become inolved in departmental teaching.
