Research Associate in Metabolic Neuroimaging (10781BR)
We are seeking a Research Associate to work closely with Dr Mike Germuska in support of a research programme funded by a Sir Henry Dale Wellcome Trust Fellowship. You will be involved in the development and application of neuroimaging methods to assess human brain physiology and energy metabolism. A significant aspect of the research will focus on the development of deuterium metabolic imaging at 7T. You will be experienced in the analysis of neuroimaging data and will have a PhD relevant to this or related fields. You will have practical experience in the acquisition and/or modelling of physiological and/or metabolic MRI data. Experience with pulse sequence programming (preferably IDEA) and advanced signal processing methods will be an advantage for this position
This post is part of an exciting collaboration between the School of Physics and Astronomy and the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC).
