Job Details
The post will suit candidates from an engineering, computer science, neuroscience, or physics background with a PhD, or previous post-doctoral experience, in biomedical image analysis, or a related area. Experience with advanced MR imaging techniques and their analysis would be advantageous. The post will involve developing / evaluating computational image analysis methods for post-processing and visualisation of advanced MRI data to aid diagnosis and evaluation of cerebellar disease and gluten related neurological disease.
Sheffield has an internationally respected clinical research group focused on ataxia and gluten related neurological disease with key collaborators Prof Marios Hadjivassiliou and Prof David Sanders. In particular, the ability of Diffusion Tensor imaging (DTI) and other MR diffusion techniques, Arterial Spin Labelling (ASL) perfusion imaging to improve the diagnosis and monitor cerebellar disease and function will be assessed alongside conventional structural image analysis methods. In addition, the usefulness of GABA spectroscopy and functional (BOLD) MRI methods will be investigated.
