We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work with Professor Robin Cleveland at the Department of Engineering Science, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Botnar Research Centre, Headington in collaboration with Clinical Neurosciences at Oxford University and the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College. The goal of the project will be to demonstrate that low-intensity ultrasound can be targeted to specific locations in the brain and modify neural oscillations. The study will be carried out with patients with Parkinson’s Disease who have already been implanted with devices that can monitor neural oscillations; allowing us to directly monitor how ultrasound affects the oscillations. The post is funded by the Rosetrees Foundation and is fixed-term for up to 3 years.
You should hold a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion) in experimental psychology, motor neuroscience, neurophysiology, biomedical engineering or a relevant area of another scientific discipline, together with relevant experience. We are looking for an individual who has experience, developing, carrying-out and analysing data for neurostimulation trials, ideally using ultrasound. You will need excellent communication skills to communicate in a sensitive and respectful way with participants. You should have experience collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of researchers.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Robin Cleveland (email: [email protected]).
Only online applications received before midday on 3 April 2024 can be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, including a brief statement of research interests (describing how past experience and future plans fit with the advertised position), CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
