The post holder will hold a PhD in clincal psychology or a closely allied discipline, eg cognitive neuroscience, with a research background in dementia, neurodegeneration, or neuroscience.
The post holder will have experience in advanced MR imaging analysis, in successfully coordinating complex clinical trial designs including governance, patient recruitment/management, interaction across multiple teams and centres, working with patients and older participants, and in conducting neuropsychological assessments and behavioural questionnaires.
