It is funded for 36months.

You will have a recent PhD in magnetic resonance imaging with extensive experience of MRI sequence development and a good knowledge of MRI physics. You should have a proven research track record through peer review publications and conference presentations. You will also have excellent communication, organisational and time management skills and a creative approach to problem solving, together with the ability to work constructively and effectively within the team.

Training may be provided within post.
