The researcher will be based at University of Strathclyde and at the WQSEC.

It provides a novel model of diagnostic assessment and treatment for those with epilepsy and related conditions (mainly non-epileptic attacks) across. There is continuous video monitoring of all patient spaces (excluding bathrooms) and wireless video-EEG telemetry. There is a multi-disciplinary team (nursing, neurology, clinical neurophysiology, neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology).

The successful candidate will work as part of a multi-disciplinary clinical research team led by Professor Graham and Dr Maria Oto, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychiatrist, WQSEC. The postholder will initiate a range of clinical research projects that are designed to improve the care offered to people with epilepsy.

You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences. You will be able to communicate effectively, empathically and professionally in situations where people are experiencing distress. You will be able to use research supervision effectively to continuously improve the effectiveness of your work. You will understand the importance of ethical practice.
