Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging
Senior Research Associate: MR Image and Data Analysis Scientist
A senior postdoctoral position for an expert in MR image processing, modeling and data analysis is available within the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (WTCN), UCL Institute of Neurology. The Centre conducts cutting-edge brain research by means of functional and structural imaging, and is equipped with three 3 T MRI scanners (including Siemens Tim Trio with 32-ch head coil), an MEG system (CTF/VSM), and MR compatible EEG and TMS systems.
The successful candidate will work within the WTCN MRI Physics Group, and report to the Head of MRI Physics, Dr Nikolaus Weiskopf. The appointee will be engaged in his/her own research projects to improve and develop novel image processing, modeling and analysis methods related to the primary projects of the group.
Applicants are required to have, or be close to obtaining, a PhD in physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, or a comparable subject. A strong background in MR image processing, modeling and data analysis is essential, as is expertise in programming high-level languages (e.g. C/C++, Matlab). Applicants must also be specialised in at least one of the following areas: MR physics (using Siemens MR scanners and software - IDEA, ICE), MR image reconstruction methods (in particular, parallel imaging) and anatomical and/or functional MRI and SPM software.
The post is available immediately and is funded by the Wellcome Trust for three years in the first instance. Starting salary in the range of £36,862 - £44,016 pa on UCL Grade 8 including London Allowance, superannuable.
