Job description
We are looking to appoint a skilled, experienced and enthusiastic Research Assistant with experience in using TMS during complex electrophysiological recording, including multichannel EEG and EMG. The project involves combined TMS and EEG/EMG recording in patients with neurological disorders, primarily Motor Neuron Disease, Visual Snow Syndrome, and Migraine.
The postholder will be expected to have sufficient direct hands-on experience with TMS EEG and TMS EMG to be able to set up experiments (including the use of stereotactic localisation), collect high-quality data, continuously trouble-shoot during data collection, and undertake all steps of subsequent data analysis. The postholder will work closely with other members of the team, and may be the primary data collector or assistant depending on the needs of the experiment.
Prior experience of working with patients, especially patients with Motor Neuron Disease, is a requirement.
More details on the Department of Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, King’s College London, are here: www.kcl.ac.uk/neuroscience/about/departments/basic-clinical-neuroscience
This post will be offered on a full-time, fixed term contract until 30th June 2024.
Key responsibilities
- Set up experiments, troubleshoot, and collect high-quality TMS-EEG/EMG data, a part of the team
- Ensure the lab is booked when required, used responsibly, and left tidy for the next user
- Support the scheduling of experiments with patient and health control participants, as part of the team
- Assist other team members in collecting TMS-EEG/EMG data, as needed
- Analyse TMS, EEG and EMG data
- Draft reports and manuscripts
The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
Skills, knowledge, and experience
Essential criteria
1. Experience with TMS experiments
2. Experience with TMS-EEG and multichannel high-density TMS-EMG
3. Experience with using stereotactic localization in TMS experiments
4. Ability to troubleshoot effectively during TMS-ExG experiments
5. Experience and ability in analysing TMS-ExG data
6. Experience with TMS-ExG experiments in patients with neurological disorders, especially Motor Neuron Disease
This post is subject to an Occupational Health clearance.
