> Hello everyone,
> 
> As I mentioned in our last meeting, we are currently recruiting a Ph.D.-level researcher to join our team at the National Research & Training Center on Blindness & Low Vision (NRTC). Our ideal candidate will have a background in blindness/low vision, experience with this population as a direct service provider or researcher, and a passion for this field.
> 
>  
> 
> We have two positions posted, one for a Postdoctoral Associate (for a recent graduate with limited research experience) and one for a Research Scientist I, II, III, or Senior (for a professional with a few to many years of research experience). Both job descriptions are attached. For a candidate interested in a faculty teaching position, there may be an opportunity for a joint appointment (part-time NRTC and part-time teaching for Mississippi State University). We plan to hire one person – either a Postdoctoral Associate or a Research Scientist – to join our team of researchers.
> 
>  
> 
> The NRTC has been conducting research focused on improving employment outcomes for people who are blind or have low vision since 1981. We receive federal funding for this purpose and are currently conducting six large research projects. Information about the projects is available on our website: https://www.blind.msstate.edu/research/current <https://www.blind.msstate.edu/research/current>  Opportunities to pursue other research topics and projects will be available.

> Please share this announcement with anyone who may be interested, and encourage them to contact me directly (m.mcdonnall at msstate.edu <mailto:m.mcdonnall at msstate.edu>) if they have any questions. Thank you for helping us spread the word!
