The FMRIB Centre is currently looking for a post-doctoral physicist to lead our program on post-mortem imaging of whole, human brains.

This will build on our recent work using our state-of-the-art 7T Siemens scanner to obtain high-resolution images of whole, post-mortem human brains. The person we're recruiting will complement our existing diffusion methods with other relevant MR measures, including relaxography, susceptibility and magnetization transfer. A second post-doc on the project will put these methods to use on a cohort of donated brains from motor neuron disease (MND, also called ALS) patients, who have already been scanned prior to death. The goal is to provide a comprehensive dataset linking in-vivo imaging, ex-vivo imaging and histological measures in the same brains, with particular interest in studying the link between MND and fronto-temporal dementia. In addition, we would be interested for the post-holder to engage with our broader interests in imaging post-mortem brains from a range of conditions, including autism, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, as well as very high-resolution diffusion imaging for anatomical investigations.

The post-holder would be part of the FMRIB Physics Group, co-directed by myself and Peter Jezzard. We hope to find someone with a strong technical background and an interest in neurodegeneration. Previous experience with quantitative MRI of white matter and/or MRI-histological comparisons would be ideal. Candidates are welcome to direct formal enquiries to me, but applications must be made on-line (please see the ad below, and follow the links to apply).

The deadline for applications is June 27 at 12pm (mid-day) UK time.

Thanks!
