*Research Associate in Advanced Neuroimaging applied to Multiple Sclerosis*
*Institute of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences*
*Cardiff School of Medicine*
We seek a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with a strong interest in
advanced neuroimaging and its application to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We
aim to develop strategies for functional recovery in MS. The post-holder
would work in collaboration with MRI methodologists, clinicians and
statisticians on this project, funded by the Multiple Sclerosis Society
UK, which aims to predict the individual’s potential for functional
recovery in MS with the aid of advanced structural and functional
neuroimaging. The position will involve MRI data acquisition in MS
patients, image analysis and the development of a predictive statistical
model. Imaging will be performed at Cardiff University Brain Research
Imaging Centre (CUBRIC,
http://psych.cf.ac.uk/cubric/).
Applicants should have a first degree in the psychology, physical or
biological sciences and a relevant PhD. The ability to communicate well
with scientific colleagues in a multi-disciplinary research environment
and patients taking part in our experiments is essential. It is part of
the project a home based intervention consisting in motor training.
Candidates should have a good understanding of advanced structural and
functional MRI methods, such as BOLD and perfusion fMRI, myelin imaging
and diffusion based imaging. An understanding of statistical approaches
to prediction analysis would be an advantage. Image data analysis will
be performed in a UNIX environment using software such as FSL, SPSS and
Matlab. This position would suit a self-motivated individual with a
proactive and flexible approach to work, and the ability to use
initiative and creativity.
