We are seeking to appoint a talented Research Fellow in Neuroimaging to join Clinical Neurosciences in the Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Southampton. You will join a vibrant group of researchers pushing the boundaries of knowledge in neurology across the life-span. You will specifically work on the neuroimaging aspects of two exciting neuroscience projects, funded by external grants:
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with an interest in applying advanced MRI techniques to characterise the brain response to acquired injury across the lifespan. A background in neuro MRI image processing is essential, including computer science, MRI physics, or other related area and experience in image analysis and programming, with strong mathematical/statistical skills. A higher degree in any of these areas is desirable. Detailed understanding of image analysis and manipulation, programming, software management, data processing, management and analysis are essential. You should be able to supervise work of junior research staff, to present research results at group meetings and conferences, and to contribute to writing up research results for publication in leading peer-viewed journals.
You will work as part of a dynamic multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, data analysts, and MR physicists, within a clinical research environment, collaborating with researchers in various departments both in Southampton and elsewhere. You will join lab meetings, academic series, and journal clubs, and contribute to the growth of neuroimaging in Southampton. We invest in people, and you will be encouraged to develop your career in neuroimaging.
The post is available full-time for 11 months. This will be followed by 14 months part-time at 0.6FTE. Hence the total length of employment is 25 months.
Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.
