Newcastle University

Vacancies - Applications are invited for the 3 following post-doctoral positions within the Newcastle MR Centre.

Research Associate in MR Physics  - Core Position

A position for an MR physicist is available funded from the core budget of the MR Centre.  You will have a Ph.D. including training in MR physics and pulse sequence development and a strong interest in biological application of MR methods.
The post-holder will further develop our cardiovascular research methods including multinuclear spectroscopy, 4D flow and cardiac wall motion measurement. These techniques will be used in established patient populations including Ageing, Cardiology, Diabetes, Liver Disease and Neuromuscular disorders. 
The post-holder will collaborate widely with our clinical teams but will also have opportunity to develop their own area of research with the expectation that, in time, they will develop an independent research career within the Centre.
The post is available for 3 years in the first instance but is a recurrent post.
