About this position
Company description:
We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.
The Role
The purpose of this role is for a skilled MR physicist to design and deliver high-quality clinical research in magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy within the Centre for In Vivo Imaging at Newcastle University. This is a role which will embrace working with a principal investigator and collaborating with an multi-disciplinary team of scientists and clinicians.
There are two 3.0T research-dedicated Philips scanners, with pulse programming and advanced scan capabilities. Studies are supported by a dedicated research radiography team.
The research interests of the Centre for In Vivo Imaging (CIVI, https://www.ncl.ac.uk/civi) are wide-ranging, covering most of the research disciplines within in the Translational and Clinical Research Institute, and the wider Faculty of Medical Sciences. These include studies of function and metabolism in the brain and most organs of the body. The Centre has particular interests in multinuclear imaging/spectroscopy (19F, 23Na, 31P, 13C, 7Li). CIVI works alongside the many clinical academics within the Faculty of Medical Sciences, and clinician researchers in the local acute and mental health NHS Trusts, to design and deliver high impact translational research that improves health. The post-holder would develop and support such studies.
This post is available on a fixed term basis until 30th June 2029. The post could suit equally those who have just qualified with a PhD, or those with postdoctoral experience. Newcastle University is committed to career development for Research Associates through development to independent research and/or staff scientist positions where appropriate. Informal questions about the position can be addressed to Dr Kieren Hollingsworth (kieren.hollingsworth@newcastle.ac.uk).
