The Hull York Medical School is seeking candidates for a full Professorship in Neuroscience full details can be obtained from http://www.hyms.ac.uk/jobs/leading_researchers.aspx This post is part of a strategic plan to develop a research portfolio within the newly formed HYMS Centre for Neuroscience, one of five interactive and dynamic centres within the Medical School. The successful candidate for this post will have an outstanding research record demonstrating their commitment to research, innovative leadership, teaching and learning. He or she will be expected to exploit the considerable opportunities for collaborative research with colleagues and existing research teams in the Universities of Hull and York. The individual will have a specific remit to complement and enhance the research activities of the Wellcome-Wolfson Centre for Hyperpolarisation in MRI. The Centre is a new facility being developed within the University of York. It has been formed to take a major advance in molecular imaging from the bench to the bedside. The facility will house state-of-the-art preclinical scanning facilities, NMR, DNP and extensive synthetic and analytical chemistry capabilities, that support the development of the use of nuclear spin hyperpolarisation in a wide range of biomolecules, models of disease processes and eventually, in clinical practice. Candidates with expertise in the study of molecular or imaging neuroscience are particularly encouraged to apply, although any research programme that extends our current strengths of neuroscience, imaging and chemistry would be considered. In addition to the development of a research programme, the post holders will contribute to the teaching of neuroscience and imaging science to undergraduate students studying medicine and biomedical science. Enquiries should be directed to Prof Tony Kendrick, Dean of HYMS, email:[log in to unmask], Prof. Simon Duckett (Hyperpolarisation) email [log in to unmask], Prof Gary Green (Imaging) email [log in to unmask], or Prof Tony Morland (Neurosciences) [log in to unmask], can be approached with specific enquiries about the current research environment. Further details, including an outline Job description and Person specification, are available in the briefing document. http://www.hyms.ac.uk/jobs/HYMS_candidate_brief.pdf How to Apply If you are ambitious, and have the drive and ability to help us to continue to develop as a top 10 medical school, we would be delighted to hear from you. Applicants must have a higher degree (MD/PhD) in a relevant subject as well as * Have significant experience of teaching and research in a higher education setting; * Have a strong record of peer reviewed publications; * Have a strong record of successful competitive applications for externally funded research including as Principal/Chief Investigator. Salary will depend on the level of appointment, and whether clinical or non-clinical. The closing date for applications is 10 October 2011. -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 PA - Claire Fox : +44 (0) 1904 435329 or [log in to unmask] fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004
