The Hull York Medical School is seeking candidates for a full 
Professorship in Neuroscience

full details can be obtained from
http://www.hyms.ac.uk/jobs/leading_researchers.aspx

This post is part of a strategic plan to develop a research portfolio 
within the newly formed HYMS Centre for Neuroscience, one of five 
interactive and dynamic centres within the Medical School. The 
successful candidate for this post will have an outstanding research 
record demonstrating their commitment to research, innovative 
leadership, teaching and learning. He or she will be expected to exploit 
the considerable opportunities for collaborative research with 
colleagues and existing research teams in the Universities of Hull and 
York.

The individual will have a specific remit to complement and enhance the 
research activities of the Wellcome-Wolfson Centre for Hyperpolarisation 
in MRI. The Centre is a new facility being developed within the 
University of York. It has been formed to take a major advance in 
molecular imaging from the bench to the bedside. The facility will house 
state-of-the-art preclinical scanning facilities, NMR, DNP and extensive 
synthetic and analytical chemistry capabilities, that support the 
development of the use of nuclear spin hyperpolarisation in a wide range 
of biomolecules, models of disease processes and eventually, in clinical 
practice.

Candidates with expertise in the study of molecular or imaging 
neuroscience are particularly encouraged to apply, although any research 
programme that extends our current strengths of neuroscience, imaging 
and chemistry would be considered. In addition to the development of a 
research programme, the post holders will contribute to the teaching of 
neuroscience and imaging science to undergraduate students studying 
medicine and biomedical science.

Enquiries should be directed to Prof Tony Kendrick, Dean of HYMS, 
email:[log in to unmask], Prof. Simon Duckett (Hyperpolarisation) 
email [log in to unmask], Prof Gary Green (Imaging) email 
[log in to unmask], or Prof Tony Morland (Neurosciences) 
[log in to unmask], can be approached with specific enquiries 
about the current research environment.

Further details, including an outline Job description and Person 
specification, are available in the briefing document.
