Development Support Scientist
FMRIB Centre, University of Oxford, UK
Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.

Postdoctoral Researcher - UK7T Project
FMRIB Centre, University of Oxford, UK
Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.

We have two exciting posts post-doctoral appointments available within 
Oxford's strong MR Physics Group at the FMRIB Centre, starting in July 2016.

Our Development Support Scientist will be central to the translation of 
cutting-edge MRI physics techniques to basic and clinical neuroscience.  
The post-holder will implement and improve upon recent advances in MRI 
pulse sequences and image reconstruction; optimise scanning protocols 
for general use and specialist needs; and consolidate novel hardware 
capabilities for use in the neuroscience setting. The focus of this post 
will be on FMRIB's state-of-the-art 7-tesla Siemens MRI scanner, which 
incorporates parallel transmission and real-time shimming capabilities.  
There would also be opportunities to teach on FMRIB's Graduate Training 
Program in neuroimaging.  For this post a higher grade may be available 
for applicants with significant relevant experience - please speak to us 
before applying.

As part of the recently established UK7T network, we are also looking to 
recruit a Postdoctoral Research Assistant. In collaboration with 
colleagues at four other UK7T sites (Cambridge, Cardiff, Nottingham and 
Glasgow), you will establish sequences and protocols that are optimised 
for neuroimaging studies at 7T and can be replicated across the network. 
You will also help establish standards and mechanisms for data sharing, 
and develop protocols for maximum image homogeneity and minimum power 
deposition using parallel transmission.

The posts would be suited to someone with a PhD in physics or 
engineering. The ideal candidate would have experience with sequence 
development on high-field scanners (ideally the Siemens platform) and be 
comfortable communicating to scientists from a range of backgrounds. You 
should demonstrate knowledge of image reconstruction for MRI and have 
programming experience in C++, Matlab and Unix scripting. You must be 
able to manage own academic research and associated activities. 
Expertise in neuroimaging, particularly functional or diffusion imaging 
or spectroscopy would be advantageous.

For further information, please contact: stuart.clare at ndcn.ox.ac.uk.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday on Monday 11th April 
2016. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online.
