Dear all,
Please find below a recruitment ad for a Clinical Research Associate
Position at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (FIL), Institute
of Neurology, UCL, London.
Best regards,
Guillaume.
########################################################################
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (incorporating the
Leopold Muller Functional Imaging Laboratory (FIL) and the Wellcome
Department of Imaging Neuroscience) is an interdisciplinary centre for
neuroimaging excellence. Using neuroimaging techniques, our goal is to
understand how thought and perception arise from brain activity, and how
such processes break down in neurological and psychiatric disease. Our
research groups study all aspects of higher cognitive function including
vision, memory, language and reasoning, emotion, decision making and
motor control.
An opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Research Associate with an
interest in neuroimaging research to work on biomarkers and novel
methods of computerised image-based diagnosis of pre-clinical and early
stages of neurodegenerative disorders as well as genetic correlates of
anatomical changes in relation to normal cognitive variability and
multigenic disease. The post is supervised by Professor Richard
Frackowiak and supported by Dr John Ashburner for methodological innovation.
There is also an opportunity to attend a general or specialist
neurological clinic per week.
Applicants should hold GMC registration and MRCP (or equivalent), have
previous experience in Neurology as an SHO or equivalent, and be able to
demonstrate a record of academic excellence. Some neuroimaging
experience would be an advantage but is not essential.
The programme is funded by the Wellcome Trust, and the post will be
available from August 2008 for 1 year in the first instance, renewable.
Starting salary, commensurate with experience and qualifications, will
be on the UCL Clinical Grade 7 scale in the range £30,231 - £38,336 per
annum plus £2,649 per annum London Weighting, superannuable.
Further details (including information on how to apply) should first be
obtained from Mr C Dennis, (Personnel), Institute of Neurology, The
National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London
