  • Assist with recruitment, interviewing and follow-up of patients as part of prospective cohort studies and randomised controlled trials
  • Perform cognitive assessments.
  • Assist with physiological assessments of patients within cohort studies and randomised trials.
  • Train to perform physiological assessments independently, such as transcranial ultrasound.
  • Assist with physiological monitoring during MRI scanning.
  • Manage and coordinate our research studies.
  • Learn to analyse data with standard scientific analysis software (R, Python, Matlab).

Essential requirements

  • A first or 2:1 degree, or a masters, in a relevant discipline (e.g., biological sciences, nursing, neuroscience, psychology etc)
  • Knowledge of basic research methods and statistical procedures
  • Knowledge of general laboratory practice, techniques, and instrumentation
  • Excellent communication skills with a wide range of people
  • Ability to organise own work with minimal supervision.
  • Good computer skills, including word-processing, spreadsheets and the Internet.

Further Information

The post is a fixed term position for 3 years, at a salary between £40,694 and £43,888, depending on previous experience, with the potential for extension of the position, support to apply for further research training or for completion of a supported PhD during the post.
