We have an exciting opportunity for a post-doctoral researcher to join a multidisciplinary research group applying state-of-the-art MRI to study the structural and functional basis for visual impairment in children with tumours of the optic pathway. The post is part of the TIPTOP study (Tensor Imaging of Paediatric Tumours for Functional Outcome Prediction), funded by The Stoneygate Trust. The project is a collaboration between the University of Nottingham’s Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre (SPMIC), The Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre (CBTRC) and the Nottingham Children’s Hospital. The SPMIC is a world-renowned MRC-funded MRI research facility with 7T and 3T, widebore and upright MRI, MEG and DNP facilities, supported by a broad range of neuroimaging-related disciplines and expertise. The CBTRC is a leading centre for basic, translational and therapeutic research in paediatric brain tumours, supported by multidisciplinary team of scientific and clinical researchers.
The successful candidate will hold a PhD (or equivalent) in either physics, computer science, neuroscience or a neuroimaging-related discipline. In particular we seek candidates who have expertise in acquisition and analysis of diffusion tensor imaging data and functional MRI . Prior experience of paediatric imaging is not essential.
The post is available immediately, and will finish in July 2017. More information can be found at: http://jobs.nottingham.ac.uk/MED155416
I'd be very happy to take informal enquiries about the post, and provide further information or arrange visits as required.
Best Wishes,
Rob
Dr Rob Dineen, Clinical Associate Professor of Neuroimaging, University of Nottingham
