Clinical Research Fellow in Radiology (Fixed term)

This is an exciting opportunity to join the research team in the Magnetic Resonance and Precision Imaging (MR&PI) Theme in the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre. Key areas of research activity for the group are innovative imaging platforms, experimental quantitative physiological multi-organ imaging, brain dysconnectivity, and clinical translation of novel imaging technology and image analysis approaches, including radiomic and artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches. We have strong links with the internationally recognised expertise at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre which will soon become the home of the UK 11.7T Ultra-high-field MRI facility

This Clinical Research Fellow post is aimed at early-career medically qualified clinical researchers at pre- or postdoctoral level planning a career in advancing medical imaging for precision diagnostics, prognosis or imaging-guided clinical trials.
