RESEARCH RADIOGRAPHER IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
£23,692 - £32,796 per annum
REF 13632/DPO/A3
Applications are invited for a Research Radiographer in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to work in the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi) at University of Glasgow. The CCNi, a strategic priority of the University, is a platform of complementary, state-of-the-art brain imaging facilities entirely devoted to research in Cognitive Neuroscience. Located in a new building within the Department of Psychology, the CCNi includes a 3T fMRI scanner (Siemens TIM TRIO), a MEG system, a TMS system, and several EEG systems – including fMRI compatible systems. Several appointments have been recently made as part of this initiative, and several more are to come. The CCNi will be completely operational by the end of 2007.
Your role will be to organize and coordinate the safe, efficient and effective daily use of the MR and MEG imaging facilities in the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi). You will be in charge of performing highly complex specialist MRI imaging and providing expert advice to academic staff on the technical and clinical applications, limitations and contraindications to imaging procedures. You will also be responsible daily for ensuring that all safety procedures are strictly adhered to, in order to avoid risk of injury to subjects and staff and visitors in the MRI and MEG controlled areas. These tasks will be performed under the direct supervision of an MR physicist, also being currently recruited (cf. Ref No: 13633/HRO/A1).
The successful candidate should have a Masters or equivalent research profile in Radiography, a BSc in Radiology or related subject, and good knowledge of fMRI and MEG acquisition methods. He/she will also have a minimum of 2 years experience in performing specialist MRI imaging, experience interviewing subjects to elicit appropriate information to ensure subject safety, and experience working with relevant statutory requirements, regulations, safety protocols, codes of conduct, QA procedures, MHRA guidelines and the Data Protection Act.
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Pascal Belin (p.belin@psy.gla.ac.uk, +44 (0)141 330 4629) or to Dr Lars Muckli (l.muckli@psy.gla.ac.uk, +44 (0) 141 330 6237).
