Dear all, Please find below a recruitment ad for a Clinical Research Associate Position at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (FIL), Institute of Neurology, UCL, London. Best regards, Guillaume. ######################################################################## The Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (incorporating the Leopold Muller Functional Imaging Laboratory (FIL) and the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience) is an interdisciplinary centre for neuroimaging excellence. Using neuroimaging techniques, our goal is to understand how thought and perception arise from brain activity, and how such processes break down in neurological and psychiatric disease. Our research groups study all aspects of higher cognitive function including vision, memory, language and reasoning, emotion, decision making and motor control. An opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Research Associate with an interest in neuroimaging research to work on biomarkers and novel methods of computerised image-based diagnosis of pre-clinical and early stages of neurodegenerative disorders as well as genetic correlates of anatomical changes in relation to normal cognitive variability and multigenic disease. The post is supervised by Professor Richard Frackowiak and supported by Dr John Ashburner for methodological innovation. There is also an opportunity to attend a general or specialist neurological clinic per week. Applicants should hold GMC registration and MRCP (or equivalent), have previous experience in Neurology as an SHO or equivalent, and be able to demonstrate a record of academic excellence. Some neuroimaging experience would be an advantage but is not essential. The programme is funded by the Wellcome Trust, and the post will be available from August 2008 for 1 year in the first instance, renewable. Starting salary, commensurate with experience and qualifications, will be on the UCL Clinical Grade 7 scale in the range £30,231 - £38,336 per annum plus £2,649 per annum London Weighting, superannuable.
