Hackathon:
Prior to this; 16-17 December is a CIL (Core Imaging Library) Hackathon - email if you think this may be of interest.
Jobs:
- Exciting PhD opportunity fully funded by Medical Research Council & GE Healthcare for 3.5 years. The project will focus on the “Development of spinal cord PET-MRI for translational neuroscience”. The PhD researcher
will join both the Universities of Sheffield & Leeds. More information can be found here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/mrc-dimen-doctoral-training-partnership-development-of-spinal-cord-pet-mri-for-translational-neuroscience-applications/?p114937
Money:
- The ImagingBioPro Network has funding available to help stimulate inter-disciplinary research on imaging of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal processes, with a core focus on using the UK’s Large Facilities (e.g. Diamond
Light Source, ISIS Neutron Source, and the Central Laser Facilities).
- The small grants – DHEs – will cover travel and subsistence costs for a day to a few weeks, normally with a maximum of £750. This includes movement of academics, medics, industrialists, PDRA’s and PhD students between
groups with different disciplines or to/from Large Facilities.
- The big grants – PoCAs – will cover up to 2-months PDRA salary (at UCL rate: £21k, including overheads) and £3500 for research consumables, travel and subsistence - Deadline for application: APPLY NOW
