We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate/Fellow with a relevant PhD (or close to completion) and experience to join the Nutritional Neuroimaging Research Group at the University of Nottingham. The successful applicant will employ a variety of cutting-edge Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques and data analysis tools to investigate how diabetes status modulates functional activation of sweet taste and gut-brain signalling in response to sweet sensing.
This post is part of a large grant, funded by Diabetes UK, in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, Australia. The successful applicant will work within an intradisciplinary team including neuroimaging specialists, sensory scientists, and diabetes healthcare experts. This work will be primarily conducted at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, University Park campus.
Responsibilities: Employ a variety of cutting-edge MRI techniques and data analysis tools. Investigate how diabetes status modulates functional activation of sweet taste and gut-brain signalling. Work within an intradisciplinary team including neuroimaging specialists, sensory scientists, and diabetes healthcare experts. Qualifications: PhD (or close to completion) in neuroimaging or a related field. Previous experience in the development of MRI analysis pipelines for functional and/or structural data. Experience in MRI sequence optimisation and working with clinical cohorts is desirable. A proven track record of publishing research is essential. This is a full-time post (36.25 hours per week) and is available from 1st March 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, until 31st August 2027. Job share arrangements may be considered.
