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 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.
Key Accountabilities
Working under the guidance of academic staff, develop and carry out research using appropriate magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy and equipment available within the Centre for In Vivo Imaging
Determine appropriate methodologies for research, showing an appropriate degree of independence, with advice and support where required
Review the literature to assess proposals for research by collaborating principal investigators to determine scientific right-to-succeed and appropriate resourcing
Writing up and publication of own/collaborative research through publications in leading peer-reviewed journals
Prepare high quality presentations and present research findings at national/international conferences/meetings and to appropriate stakeholders within the University
Work with the support staff and, with undergraduate and postgraduate students, and interact intellectually with other academic members of the Institute
May contribute to events celebrating the public engagement of translational research
Contribute to funding applications submitted by others
Contribute to the program of teaching within the Centre of In Vivo Imaging, including the MSc in Clinical Science (Medical Physics) and other courses as appropriate
