    The College of Optometry, University of Houston, provides a fertile environment for blending fundamental Glycobiology with medical and translational opportunities.

    The post is available immediately for a period of 1 year, which can be renewed for an additional 2 years based on performance and funding availability.

    The candidate must have flexible hours and be available no less than 40 hours a week Monday-Friday.
