Summary
Grade UE07: £41,064 to £48,822 per annum
Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences / Institute for Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research
Full-time: 35 hours per week
Fixed term: 62 months
We are looking for an enthusiastic researcher with experience in magnetic resonance to join our team conducting a ground-breaking clinical trial in the treatment of bipolar depression. This Wellcome Trust-funded project will measure the impact of dietary intervention on patients’ brain metabolism using 1H and 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
The Opportunity:
This 62-month post will suit an imaging scientist or (N)MR spectroscopist (experience of in-vivo/clinical imaging is not essential) who is able to work both independently and collaboratively, as a key member of our interdisciplinary research team. The post holder will help to improve understanding and treatment of bipolar disorder, generate high-impact research outputs, and gain expertise in medical imaging and metabolic psychiatry. The post is full-time and based primarily on-campus, however requests for limited remote working (on a non-contractual basis) will be considered.
The salary for this post is UE07 per annum, dependent on experience.
Your skills and attributes for success:
1st or 2:1 level undergraduate Honours or MSc degree in a relevant subject (e.g. physical sciences, engineering)
PhD completed or to be awarded within 3 months of start. The PhD subject (or that of subsequent postdoctoral research) should be relevant to the post, e.g. medical imaging, magnetic resonance, NMR.
Understanding and application of the science underpinning magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy
Strong numerical and programming skills
Communication and ability to build effective working relationships within a multidisciplinary team
