Postdoctoral Researcher in Diffusion MRI Methods

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p></p><div>The post will be based within the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), reporting to Professor Karla Miller. Our group develops, validates and applies novel MRI techniques for basic and clinical neuroscience.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>This project involves development and integration of advanced acquisition and reconstruction techniques for diffusion MRI. We will develop novel acquisition and reconstruction methods, design cutting-edge imaging protocols, and conduct experiments to demonstrate these techniques. Specifically, we aim to develop sub-millimetre diffusion MRI methods that are suitable for imaging the laminar structure of brain gray matter. We aim for these techniques to be deployable using vendor agnostic sequence platforms at both 3- and 7-tesla.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The post holder will be expected to take an independent and proactive role in managing the research process, maintaining and setting up collaborations, and generating new research and grant opportunities.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Some of your responsibilities will include raising research funds through grant applications and manage own area of a larger research budget, sharing responsibility for shaping the research group&#8217;s plans and the writing of group funding applications for new research projects and representing the research group at external meetings/seminars and carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>It is essential that you hold a doctoral degree (PhD or DPhil) in physics, engineering or other relevant discipline.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Please see the below 'Job Description' for further details on the responsibilities and selection criteria, as well as further information about the university and how to apply.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>The post is full time for a fixed term of 12 months in the first instance.</strong></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Wednesday 11th December will be considered.</strong></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>Interviews will be held on Monday 16th December.</strong></div> </div>
