4 weeks ago
This is a unique opportunity for a motivated individual to join the School of Computing as a Research Assistant/Associate to work on an exciting research project investigating the structural and functional underpinnings of epilepsy to develop novel therapeutic approaches. The project will leverage data from various modalities, including EEG and MRI.
You will join a well-supported research group with recent epilepsy funding of over £3m. The group has expertise across a range of techniques and access to data from over 500 individuals with epilepsy. The lab is based in the School of Computing at the Newcastle University in Newcastle City Centre, with state-of-the-art facilities. Extensive support and mentoring are available to all team members, and a generous budget for travel and computing equipment will be provided.
Key Responsibilities- To understand and convey material of a specialist or highly technical nature to the team or group of people through presentations and discussions
- To publish high-quality outputs, including papers for submission to peer-reviewed journals and papers for presentation at conferences and workshops under the direction of the Principal Investigator
- To prepare and deliver presentations on research outputs/activities to audiences that may include research sponsors, academic, and non-academic audiences
- To assist with the development of research objectives and proposals
- To conduct individual and collaborative research projects under the direction of the Principal Investigator
- To work with the Principal Investigator and other colleagues in the research group, as appropriate, to identify areas for research, develop new research methods, and extend the research portfolio
- To deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines by discussing with the Principal Investigator and offering creative or innovative solutions
- To liaise with research colleagues and make internal and external contacts to develop knowledge and understanding to form relationships for future research collaboration
- To plan and manage own research activity, research resources in collaboration with others, and contribute to the planning of research projects
- To deliver training in research techniques/approaches to peers, visitors, and students as appropriate
- To be involved in student supervision, as appropriate, and assist with the assessment of the knowledge of students
- To contribute to fostering a collegial and respectful working environment that is inclusive and welcoming and where everyone is treated fairly with dignity and respect
- To engage in wider citizenship to support the department and wider discipline
We are seeking an individual who is consistently methodical in their approach to research and adept at problem-solving. We are looking for someone who is naturally collaborative and focused on producing high-quality research outputs as part of a diverse and interdisciplinary team. You should have excellent interpersonal skills, with a talent for building professional working relationships with internal and external stakeholders and exploring new avenues for medical applications.
You will have substantial technical experience in processing either neuroimaging (e.g., MRI, PET, CT) data or neurophysiology data. For applicants with an MRI background, you will have excellent advanced knowledge of software processing tools such as FSL, FreeSurfer, ANTS, MRtrix, SPM, or similar. For applicants with an M/EEG background, you will have excellent advanced knowledge of signal processing of M/EEG signals from first principles.
You will have experience of at least one of the following analysis techniques (multiple preferred): normative modeling, dimensionality reduction techniques, machine learning/AI, dynamic model inference (e.g., state space modeling), advanced statistics. Experience in conducting high-quality academic research is essential. Demonstrable ability to present research papers at national/international conferences and communicate complex information to specialists and within the wider academic community is also required.
A strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals, commensurate with stage of career, is essential. A track record of presenting research at conferences, symposia, or meetings, commensurate with stage of career, is also desirable. Demonstrable ability to develop research proposals and designs in collaboration with other academics is also desirable.
We are committed to being a fully inclusive university that actively recruits, supports, and retains colleagues from all sectors of society. We value diversity and celebrate, support, and thrive on the contributions of all of our employees and the communities they represent. We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from individuals who can complement our existing teams.
