The role will primarily involve working with young adults to collect and analyse structural and functional MRI data. You will also collect clinical and neurocognitive data using standardised measures/tasks and will work closely with the project supervisors to interpret and write up the results for publication, and prepare presentations for internal and external scientific meetings and reports to our funders. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and experience of giving presentations and preparing academic papers (and ideally grant applications). You will have a good understanding of the principles of MRI data analysis, and specialist training in either structural or functional MRI analysis (ideally with SPM or FSL). However, further MRI analysis training will be provided. You will have a postgraduate degree in cognitive neuroscience, clinical neuroimaging, or a related subject. A PhD and experience of working with clinical populations would be highly advantageous. This post will be based in the Developmental Brain-Behaviour Laboratory (DBBL) at the University of Southampton, but you will work closely with colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. The post will involve significant travel between Southampton and London and you will be expected to work occasionally outside normal office hours and at weekends.
