We are seeking a physicist with a high level of mathematical
proficiency (or equivalently qualified individual) to take up a 4 year
post in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of
Cambridge, UK. The successful applicant will join a research team
comprising clinicians and physicists from the Neurology division and
The Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre, to work on analysis (including
tractography) of diffusion-weighted MRI data in degenerative dementias.
Candidates should have completed (or at least submitted) their doctoral
thesis on a relevant topic and ideally should be experienced in the use
of UNIX, coding in C/C++, Matlab, parallel computing, statistical
methods, MRI data for modeling (inc. tractography), experience of MR
sequence development for DW-MRI and broad experience of data analysis
techniques. Work would involve implementation and optimization of image
acquisition and data modeling to address research questions in
cognitive disorders both from a clinical and theoretical
neuropsychological perspective. In addition to refining data within
existing algorithms, there would be considerable scope and time for
development of novel methodologies.
Applications should include a CV, a PD18 form
(http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/forms/pd18/), a covering
letter (giving an account of your reasons for applying and your recent
experience), and the names and email addresses of two referees.
Complete applications must be sent to: Dr Peter Nestor, MRC Cognition
and Brain Sciences Unit, Elswoth House, Box 58 Addenbrooke;s Hospital,
Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QQ. Email: [log in to unmask]
