We are seeking to appoint two skilled Research Assistants to join the Neuropsychological evaluation and rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis (NEuRoMS) project (www.neuroms.org) based in Mental Health & Clinical Neurosciences, School of Medicine.

The successful candidates will join an established multidisciplinary team of clinical researchers, led by Professor Roshan das Nair, whose main areas of research interest include applying psychological and neuropsychological theories to better understand and treat psychological issues stemming from neurological conditions.

Working alongside the team, the successful candidates will be expected to plan and conduct various research activities to achieve the study aims within the required timeline.

Research skills and experience in clinical trials, quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and techniques are essential. Candidates must have good time management and writing skills, and they will be able to problem solve, have analytical skills and the ability to work well and communicate within a team.
