The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the School of Computing as a Research Assistant/Associate in a Computational Neurology.
The project is recently awarded in Computational Neurology entitled: “Assessing and controlling seizure-modulating fluctuations (ACORN)”.
In focal epilepsy, seizure symptoms and severity fluctuate from one seizure to the next in the same patient. However, epilepsy treatments are static, and currently do not stop seizures in a third of patients. ACORN aims to: characterise key seizure features that fluctuate over time and determine seizure severity; associate these with physiological and environmental factors; and develop time-adaptive therapies for epilepsy.
We are committed to building and maintaining a fair and inclusive working environment and we would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.
The appointment is offered on a full-time basis (37 hours per week) and is fixed-term, tenable for 12 months.
