Job Reference - 4510
3 year post commencing November 2004
Salary: up to #27,116
RA1A (4-8) dependent on qualifications and experience

Rated 5 in the last RAE, the Department of Psychology has recently expanded
its research capabilities in fundamental and clinical neuroscience to
complement existing strengths in related areas. Following the appointment
of Professor Annette Sterr to the Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and
Neuropsychology and the acquisition of research-only fMRI facilities (3
Tesla Siemen's Magnetom Trio), we are now seeking to appoint an image
analyst. The Fellow will support MRI experiments conducted by researchers
in Psychology and their collaborators. He/she will support data
pre-processing, supervise the implementation of Statistical Parametric
Mapping and fMRI Software Library updates, and supervise the necessary
hardware maintenance. He/she will further be expected to contribute
MRI-specific expertise in developing study designs and sequences (e.g. for
echo planar imaging, diffusion tensor imaging), and in implementing new
analysis algorithms. It is envisioned that the applicant actively engages
in the development of a multidisciplinary image analysis laboratory with the
aim to develop his/her own research profile in this field.

The successful applicant should have excellent programming and computing
skills and will ideally have been trained in one of the leading MRI centres.
Candidates with a Neuroscience, Mathematics, Engineering or Physics degree
and a good background in Psychology, Biology or Medicine are particularly
invited to apply.
