2010-11: I am working as an in-house-editor under the direction of Prof. QS Ren, Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Peking University. My duties and job was the same as that in Chongqing and Nantong.

2008-2010: I as working as an in-house-editor within the Key Laboratory of Neuroregeneration, Nantong University, under the direction of Prof. Gu.

2007-2008: I worked as an in-house-editor within the Ophthalmology Department, South West Eye Hospital, Third Military University, Chongqing, under the direction of Prof. Zheng Qin Yin. As the in-house editor I corrected documents written in English (primarily research articles) and gave lectures on writing articles for journals written in English and posters and oral presentation at meetings. I also advised PhD students on experimental design and analysis.

2004 -2007: Senior Research Officer Dept of Anatomy & Histology (University of Sydney) and National Vision Research Institute (University of Melbourne). Continuation of the previous NH&MRC project on the development of the thalamus at the single cell level plus investigations of cortical function (NH&MRC project Dreher, Wang & Burke) and studies of the primate thalamus in relation to colour vision (ARC project Martin & Dreher). I was invited by Dr. Z. Kisvardy to the Neurophysiology laboratory, Faculty of Medicine at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Germany to demonstrate intracellular filling techniques and set up their equipment for this purpose. In 2004 I completed the course Teaching English as a Second Other Language (TESOL). In 2005: I was a visiting scholar at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology (Warsaw, Poland). During my visit I gave four workshops on writing and acted as an editor-proof reader for several of the academics wishing to submit papers. I also presented a seminar to the Institute concerning my research in Australia. 2006: I was the co- coordinator of the Anatomy & Histology Honors student program and a member of the interview panel for the Annual Postgraduate Progress Report Interviews (Anatomy).

1999-2003: Senior Research Officer (LVBStep6) Dept of Anatomy & Histology. Chief investigator on an NH&MRC project (FitzGibbon & Dreher) studying the development of the thalamus at the single cell level. I taught part of the Neuroscience3001 course for three terms and the students enthusiastically embraced the changes I introduced to the course. The following students undertook research projects under my direction and successfully completed their degrees; 2000 Ms. T. Provis (Class 2 Hons, 1st. Div.), Mr. N. Kikuchi (Class 2 Hons, 1st. Div.) 2002  Ms B Patkunanathan (Grad Dip); 2003 Ms. N.E. Masih (1st Class). Ms. Y-S Kang commenced her Ph.D.

1996 - 1998: NH&MRC Senior Research Officer 3- appointed as Chief Investigator on a NH&MRC funded project (FitzGibbon, Dreher & Mitrofanis). This project focused on the anatomical connections of the reticular nucleus of the thalamus in the cat. Mr. Nestorovski and Ms. Walsh successfully completed Honors Degrees (Orthoptics, 1st Class) while I was with the Department of Clinical Ophthalmology.

1990 - 1995: Research Fellow within the Department of Clinical Ophthalmology, and an Associate Member of the Physiology Department, University of Sydney. This position was funded by the Sydney Hospital Foundation for Research. Research during this period was focused on human retinal anatomy. Collaborative projects were also continued with Dr. B. Reese at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Dr. K. Funke, Neurophysiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Germany and Prof. A. Sefton, Physiology Department, University of Sydney.

1989 - 1990: Research Officer under the direction of Dr. I.D. Thompson, Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford. During this time I studied the retinal ganglion cell populations within the developing and adult ferret retina as well as single the cell morphology of ferret retinal ganglion cells using single cell injection techniques.

1988 - 1989: Research Officer, Neurophysiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Germany, under the direction of Prof. U. Eysel. The main part of the project concerned the effects of iontophoretically applied NMDA and non-NMDA agonists to retinogeniculate transmission. Part of this time was spent as a visiting Researcher within the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Oxford within Prof. R. Guillery’s laboratory. While at Oxford I examined the developing ferret retina and acquired electronmicroscopic techniques.

1986 - 1987: Full-time Tutor within the Physiology Department, University of Sydney. During this time I collaborated on a project with Prof. Burke investigating the survival of retinal ganglion cells in the cat after pressure block of the optic nerve.

1981 - 1985: Ph.D. candidature. My PhD project analysed the retinotopic organisation of the cat's optic tract and connections of the pulvinar lateralis posterior complex of the cat.

1974-1977: Research Assistant with Prof. Hayward, Biology Department, University of Victoria. Prof. Hayward was one of the leading experts on the effects of hypothermia on human volunteers. My research project included an analysis of the visually evoked potential of hypothermic humans.
1970 - 1974: Completed a B.Sc. in Biology at the University of Victoria, B.C. Canada.

Research and Teaching
    My recent teaching duties have largely been to supervise honors and postgraduate students but I have also given a limited number of lectures to postgraduate students, particularly in the area of writing scientific papers. I have been fortunate to work with a number of highly successful research scientists and have traveled extensively for this purpose. The completion of the TESOL course has given me a greater understanding of the problems encountered by non-native speakers and has added both new teaching skills to my repertoire and increased skills in an editorial capacity. The list of publications and the job synopsis above clearly shows that the scope of my research interests is extensive. Animals have served as the primary model on which the bulk of my research has been conducted. However, while within the Dept of Clinical Ophthalmology I was able to broaden the scope of my research to include experiments dealing directly with human material. This has provided me with an appreciation of the difficulties and rewards of pursuing experiments that directly utilise post mortem material. In the pursuit of my research goals I have acquired a number of skills on which I can draw for future lines of investigation. These include electronmicroscopy, neuroanatomical tract tracing techniques, immunohistochemisty and electrophysiology.
