Neuroimaging Sciences at the University of Edinburgh has an active programme of research into stroke and co-ordinates several multicentre international trials. The group has a worldwide reputation for neuro-research into common neurological diseases through neuroimaging. We are seeking to recruit an Image Processing Research Associate who will work on several high-profile clinical imaging research projects. The Image Processing Research Associate will process various types of MR brain imaging data using established analysis tools across a portfolio of research studies e.g. ageing, stroke, dementia, others; refine image processing and analytical techniques for use in new studies and ensure data analysis meets study deadlines. The postholder will also assist with data management for a range of studies e.g. secure curation and archiving of processed data and help students (undergraduate and postgraduate) plus other research fellows and Centre staff members in image analysis and data management procedures.

The postholder must have a good undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. Neuroscience, Anatomy, Computing Science or Engineering). Experience of working with medical image data (especially MRI) and a PhD or equivalent professional qualification are essential for this role. The postholder must be able to work independently but also with a number of different groups simultaneously, prioritise work effectively, and be flexible therefore this post would suit a meticulous and efficient person with image processing and analysis experience plus data management skills.

This post is fixed term for 2 years in the first instance with the expectation at it will continue longer term.  Further details via https://www.vacancies.ed.ac.uk/pls/corehrrecruit/erq_search_package.search_form?p_company=5&p_internal_external=E  vacancy ref 007423
