Research Associate (Fixed Term)

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the leading Stroke Research Groups both within the UK and internationally, and make a real difference to patient care.

The post holder will play a key role in analysing data to investigate relationships between vascular risk, stroke, and dementia. This could include one or more of clinical, MRI and data. You will focus specifically on cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). SVD causes lacunar stroke, small deep strokes in the white matter and deep grey matter structures in the brain. It is the most common pathology underlying vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. The stroke research group has a longstanding research interest in SVD including imaging, genetic, and clinical studies.

We are looking for someone with a PhD in a relevant previous experience.

The post would suit a statistician/bioinformatician, or someone with a background in neuroscience /stroke/ cardiovascular disease who had experience of analysis of clinical/’omic and /or imaging datasets
