The Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine and the Department of Neuroscience seeks to appoint a Research Assistant scientist to work with other researchers at the Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre on an exciting translational clinically-focussed research project funded by Arthritis Research UK which explores mechanisms of chronic pain and fatigue in a clinical population. The post provides an outstanding opportunity to gain first hand clinical research experience and skills in techniques including psychological testing, autonomic psychophysiology, neuroimaging and phlebotomy. These methods will be applied to the understanding of brain-body interactions in pain and fatigue. The post-holder will join a rich research environment within BSMS. She/he will be located at the University of Sussex Campus at Falmer and will work with Professor Kevin Davies, Professor Hugo Critchley, Professor Mara Cercignaniā€ˇ, Dr Neil Harrison, Dr Jessica Eccles and Dr Mike Tarzi.
The successful applicant will be expected to have basic computational, statistical and technical skills applicable to human neuroscience and clinical experimental research. Experience with working with patients and in psychological testing is highly desirable, as is previous experience in neuroimaging methods.
