Postdoc advertisement ==================

The NMR Research Unit is a multidisciplinary research team focusing on multiple sclerosis (MS). A Research Fellow is sought to work primarily on the development and optimisation of a high-dimensional model to predict individual treatment responses in MS, as part of an NIHR Research Professorship awarded to Professor Olga Ciccarelli. This is a collaborative project with Dr Parashkev Nachev's team, who are working on the creation of individually predictive models of clinical outcome from high-dimensional analysis of large-scale clinical datasets

The project aims to create a prototype software that predicts whether an individual patient with MS will respond to a medication by using machine learning techniques (a crucial step towards "personalized medicine"). All the elements constituting an individual MS profile will be collected prospectively in a large-scale registry. The post holder will be responsible for organising the project database on XNAT, developing probabilistic, high-dimensional models that can achieve high individual predictive value, assisting with the day-to-day running of the project, and co-ordinating public and patient engagement (PPE) and involvment (PPI) activities.

The post is available immediately and is funded by a grant from the NIHR for three years in the first instance.
