Dear All
We currently have a vacancy for the post of "functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(fMRI) Paradigm Design Team Leader" in the Department of Neuroimaging at the
Institute of Psychiatry (IoP). There's a little more "blurb" after my
signature, below, but for full details, or to apply, please see:

In parallel to its academic and teaching roles, the Department of Neuroimaging runs a
Major Research Facility (MRF) which provides Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning
services to researchers with King's College London (KCL) and external collaborators.
The MRF includes human scanning facilities (based in the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences
(CNS) and the NIHR Wellcome Kings Clinical Research Facility ("CRF")) and
pre-clinical imaging in the James Black Centre.
The Department's main focus is in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and in particular
functional MRI, but it is also involved in Psychological and other Neuroimaging
modalities. The post holder will be responsible for the planning, development,
implementation and management of the resources needed to implement paradigms for the
dynamic neuroimaging studies run within the MRF, and more widely with our national and
international collaborators.
The successful applicant will be responsible for the day to day operations of the MRF
paradigm design team, including developing and implementing policy& procedures. They
will also have a "hands on" role in developing - alongside other team members -
innovative solutions for presentation of a wide range of stimuli and recording of
participants' overt, covert, physiological and other responses. As such, it is
expected that they will have significant experience in paradigm design and development, as
well as the aptitude to lead and motivate other team members. Operating in a key support
role to researchers both within the Institute and the wider MRI community, a professional,
approachable and proactive approach is essential.
