Dementia is the greatest health challenge of our century._

To date there is no way to prevent it or even slow its progression, and there is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause it.

The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative driving forward research to fill this gap.

The UK DRI at Imperial brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds with fresh perspectives, drawing on the university’s unique strengths, resources and focus on science, engineering, medicine and business. The team recognises that the challenges of dementia demand new concepts, new approaches and a diverse range of new research tools and directions. Their holistic approach views the ageing brain in the context of the ageing body, not in isolation.

**Duties and responsibilities**:
In this role, you will, together with members of the clinical team, be responsible for the recruitment of people with early stage of Alzheimer’s disease to the project, administer non-invasive brain stimulation with TI, and develop and administer novel behavioural paradigms to probe the efficacy of temporal interference (TI) in modulating memory function.

You will also work alongside other team members to assess neurophysiological effects using neuroimaging (incl., electroencephalography, EEG, magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, and PET).

**Essential requirements**:
For Research Associate appointments, you will hold a PhD in a relevant field of study.

You must have prior experience in working with patients, ideally patients with dementia or other cognitive disorders.

Desirable skills include experience in assessment of cognitive function using standardised and experimental tasks, coding behavioural tasks (e.g., in Matlab, Python), experience in conducting non-invasive brain stimulation experiments, and design and analysis of function EEG or MRI studies.

You will be inquisitive, self-motivated, and practical, keen on developing your skills and willing to take on responsibilities within your competence.

**Further information**:
This post is available on a full time, fixed term basis for 12 months in the first instance. This role will be located on Hammersmith and White City Campuses in West London.
- The College believes that the use of animals in research is vital to improve human and animal health and welfare. Animals may only be used in research programmes where their use is shown to be necessary for developing new treatments and making medical advances. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and that all staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level._
