No Offer Description The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee. Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference. The role We are seeking an outstanding Clinical Research Training Fellow to help spearhead the development and clinical testing of a novel non-invasive brain stimulation sleep therapy for Alzheimer's disease. The project is funded by the Medical Research Council and will be conducted at the UK Dementia Research Institute Centres at the University of Surrey and Imperial College London The successful applicant will, together with other team members, be responsible for recruiting individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's disease to the study and for administering non-invasive brain stimulation (phase-locked TI electric fields and audio), electroencephalography (EEG), and cognitive paradigms during wakefulness and sleep. The successful applicant will also work alongside other team members to examine patients' responses by analysing EEG and behavioural data. Candidates are expected to hold a medical qualification (MBBS or equivalent) and be fully registered with the GMC, have experience working with patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia, and have knowledge of research methods and statistical procedures The successful applicant will be clinically mentored by Chris Butler (the project's clinical lead) and will be an active member in Derk-Jan Dijk's (University of Surrey) and Nir Grossman's (Imperial College) research groups. You will be expected to collaborate closely with researchers across the groups at Imperial College London, the University of Surrey, King's University, and with the broader worldwide network of collaborators. About you Crucial skills include prior experience working with patients, particularly those with dementia or other cognitive disorders. Desirable skills include experience in assessing cognitive function using standardised and experimental tasks, conducting non-invasive brain stimulation and/or EEG recording procedures, and analysing EEG data. However, the role involves substantial training, including the opportunity to enrol in a PhD program, to bring the clinical fellow to the highest level of competence in those research approaches. How to apply For more information and informal discussions, please contact Prof Dijk ( ; ) Please apply on the University website with your CV with a list of publications and presentations and cover letter detailing why you are interested in this job also answering the criteria questions.
