Fwd: Post-doctoral position (Neuroimaging research) at King’s College London
by Gary Green 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

FYI ------------------------------------ Post-doctoral position (Neuroimaging research) at King’s College London We would like to invite applications for the post of Post-doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging research). This position will be fixed term for 36 months and is a full-time post. The successful candidate will play a key role in collecting and analyzing neuroimaging data from a longitudinal cohort of young adults who were born very preterm. DETAILS The successful candidate will become part of the Preterm Research Group, which is studying the effects of being born preterm on subsequent neurodevelopment, cognition and behaviour. The project, funded by the Medical Research Council, aims to investigate neurodevelopment into adulthood following very preterm birth. The successful candidate will work with a unique cohort of individuals who were born prematurely and who have been taking part in a follow-up study from birth to age 19. They are now 27-32 years old. First, the study will assess their cognition (including learning disabilities, memory and attention) and mental health. Second, the study will use various neuroimaging techniques to examine how the brain changes as people grow into adults. The aim of the study is to define for the first time maturational patterns associated with the risk of poor outcome, as well as those associated with developmental resilience, and thus guide the design of remediation strategies to be implemented at very preterm individuals at younger ages aimed at reducing or preventing long-term disability. Working closely with Lead Investigators, the successful candidate will contribute to the successful conduct and completion of the research programme. He/she will play a key role in coordinating the study, assessing study participants, conducting and supporting neuroimaging data analysis and integrating current data with those collected longitudinally. He/she will work closely with other members of the Preterm Research Group, which are directly integrated with the Department of Psychosis Studies within the Psychosis Clinical Academic Group. The successful candidate will also be involved in postgraduate teaching and will be encouraged to develop his/her own research interests. SALARY The appointment will be made at Grade 6, currently from £31,020 per annum plus £2,323 per annum London Allowance. Equality of opportunity is College policy. CONTACT For an informal discussion of the post please contact Chiara Nosarti on 0207 848 0133, or via email at Chiara.nosarti(a)kcl.ac.uk. _____________________________ For further details and to apply please visit http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/pertra/vacancy/external/apply.php?id=16843270
