The aim of this post is to contribute to the understanding of the pathogenesis of tinnitus in humans by analysing a large set of existing anatomical MRI scans. This is an ideal position for an early career scientist to work in a research Institute with worldwide reputation and develop their knowledge and expertise. The project aims to produce research output of high quality to further the MRC’s scientific mission and to contribute to the field of tinnitus research within the UK.
You will work with Dr Peyman Adjamian and Dr Dave Langers from the National Hearing Biomedical Research Unit and be part of the Neurophysiology and Histology group led by Professor Alan Palmer, where research is aimed at investigating the structure and function of the auditory system. One area of research interest in this group is the mechanisms underlying the perception of tinnitus using brain imaging techniques Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional MRI in humans.
The position does not require collection of MRI data, but experience with existing MRI analysis software is highly desirable. Results will be disseminated in national and international conferences and findings published in peer-reviewed journals.
You will be expected to deliver the project described above in the period specified as well as contribute to scientific discussions in related fields of auditory science. You will be expected to support the smooth functioning and productivity of the research team.
