Dear All

We currently have a vacancy for the post of "functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Paradigm Design Team Leader" in the Department of Neuroimaging at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP). There's a little more "blurb" after my signature, below, but for full details, or to apply, please see:

In parallel to its academic and teaching roles, the Department of Neuroimaging runs a Major Research Facility (MRF) which provides Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning services to researchers with King's College London (KCL) and external collaborators. The MRF includes human scanning facilities (based in the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences (CNS) and the NIHR Wellcome Kings Clinical Research Facility ("CRF")) and pre-clinical imaging in the James Black Centre. 
 
The Department's main focus is in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and in particular functional MRI, but it is also involved in Psychological and other Neuroimaging modalities. The post holder will be responsible for the planning, development, implementation and management of the resources needed to implement paradigms for the dynamic neuroimaging studies run within the MRF, and more widely with our national and international collaborators.

The successful applicant will be responsible for the day to day operations of the MRF paradigm design team, including developing and implementing policy & procedures. They will also have a "hands on" role in developing - alongside other team members - innovative solutions for presentation of a wide range of stimuli and recording of participants' overt, covert, physiological and other responses. As such, it is expected that they will have significant experience in paradigm design and development, as well as the aptitude to lead and motivate other team members. Operating in a key support role to researchers both within the Institute and the wider MRI community, a professional, approachable and proactive approach is essential.
