**Closing Date**: 29 March 2024
The Role
Reporting to Prof Edward Meinert, this is an exciting opportunity to undertake research at the intersection of digital health, software engineering and clinical health research.
You will be supported and supervised by Prof Meinert and his staff and will also have the opportunity to be involved in other research being conducted in the lab.
People with intellectual disabilities (PwID) are understudied and under-supported in epilepsy research and care. This is despite having higher rates of epilepsy and negative outcomes (such as SUDEP, premature mortality, and misdiagnosis) than the general population. A key issue is that PwID cannot always communicate their experiences and behavioural, psychological and physiological events can be misinterpreted by carers and clinicians. Antipsychotic drugs are often prescribed off-label to manage challenging behaviour in PwID, but can reduce seizure threshold, making increased seizure activity more likely. There is a lack of evidence for how long-term EEG data could help identify whether challenging behaviours are associated with seizure activity and inform clinical decision-making.
Building on previous co-production work with PwID, family members, and carers, the aim of this study is to determine whether a long-term, subcutaneous EEG monitoring device can be tolerated and used as a seizure detection tool to improve clinical care, quality of life, and challenging behaviour for PwID and epilepsy.
This post is fixed term until 01.10.2024 with potential to extend.
Please note that if you are successful to this role, you will require medical clearance before you can commence in the role
