Full Job Description
We are seeking a motivated Clinical Research Assistant for an exciting 2-year position funded by a Wellcome Neuroscience in Mental Health award. The GPS (Goal Planning in Psychosis) study is a unique cross-disciplinary, cross-species programme investigating how prefrontal cortex dysfunction leads to cognitive and planning impairment in psychosis. The project combines task-based fMRI in individuals with psychosis, online behavioural experiments, and cutting-edge natural language processing (large language models) to investigate the brain computations supporting planning in humans, and how this can go awry in psychosis. What We Offer As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees' wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
- An excellent contributory pension scheme
- 38 days annual leave
- A comprehensive range of childcare services
- Family leave schemes
- Cycle loan scheme
- Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
- Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs About the Role This role offers a unique opportunity to conduct work with cross-disciplinary researchers in psychiatry and neuroscience, leading the conduct of the clinical neuroimaging portion of the GPS study. It is ideally suited for a research-minded clinician looking to broaden their research experience in cognitive neuroscience and computational methods. The post holder will be supported to develop their research portfolio, with potential to work towards a DPhil (i.e., PhD). The postholder will lead patient recruitment from NHS psychiatry clinics, manage the day-to-day logistics of the study, and conduct fMRI sessions and online behavioural experiments. The clinical research assistant will also conduct clinician-related research interviews and contribute to the running of experimental medicine studies.
The ideal candidate will hold a medical degree with GMC registration. You will have a demonstrable interest in developing research competencies and enthusiasm for quantitative methods, cognitive neuroscience and willingness to gain expertise in programming. You will have an understanding of basic principles underlying functional neuroimaging analysis and/or quantitative analysis of behavioural data, and have previous research experience (e.g. undergraduate/postgraduate studies). Research experience in conducting experimental projects in related fields and experimental studies involving clinical populations would be desirable.
