Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) is pleased to offer a Clinical Research Fellowship based in the Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre on the University of Sussex site in Falmer to commence on 01 August 2019.
Applications are invited from qualified medical practitioners who have completed Foundation training or equivalent, and who can demonstrate potential for development as a clinical academic. The post-holder will be based at the BSMS Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre (CISC), which comprises 64-slice PET-CT and 3T and 1.5T MR imaging systems, and will work with academics and radiographers on a research programme that is both relevant to the interests of the Centre and tailored to the interests of the successful applicant. The post-holder will also work on a day-to-day basis supporting the CISC radiographers and provide clinical cover including any medical emergencies. There will also be opportunities to contribute to the novel undergraduate teaching programme in imaging that has been developed at BSMS, including involvement with interactive computer-based imaging practical classes and Student-Selected Components based at CISC.
The post will provide excellent training and experience in imaging research either in PET-CT or MRI or both, and would especially suit someone aiming for an academic career in neuroradiology, neurology, neuroscience or psychiatry. Whilst in post, the post-holder will be expected to register and complete an MD, PhD or other research qualification with BSMS or one of its partner universities. The fees associated with an MD/PhD will be funded by the Centre as will any associated agreed scanning. The appointment will be for up to 3 years.
Further particulars of the very active and dynamic research and teaching undertaken at BSMS are available on the Medical School website (www.bsms.ac.uk).
