Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The BRC studies are primarily directed by Professors John O'Brien (Professor of Old Age Psychiatry) and James Rowe (Professor of Cognitive Neurology and BRC Theme Lead) and involve investigators and teams both in the Dept of Psychiatry and the Dept of Clinical Neurosciences. They involve the recruitment and follow-up of participants with degenerative dementias and at prodromal stages, including Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia and related disorders as well as those "at risk" and healthy controls. Participants, often recruited from local memory and cognitive clinics, undergo comprehensive assessments including cognitive testing, biosample (blood, saliva, CSF) collection and MRI and PET brain imaging. This post would be central to the co-ordination of activities, recruiting participants, administering standardised cognitive and clinical scales, accompanying participants for brain scans and associated tests and maintaining study databases and assisting with statistical analysis. Study administration, including obtaining and maintaining ethical, HRA and other governance approvals and writing study reports, would also be part of the duties required.

The appointee would be based in the Department of Psychiatry and line managed by Professor John O'Brien, but close working with investigators in the Dept of Clinical Neurosciences would be required.

This post would offer excellent research training and experience in an outstanding and vibrant research environment to those pursuing a career in the field of clinical research in dementia

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.

The interview date for the role is: To be confirmed

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
