This Clinical Research Fellow post is to support a clinician committed to a career in addiction in the UK to undertake a PhD at the Centre for Neuropsychopharmacology, Imperial College London. The PhD will be supervised by Professor Anne Lingford-Hughes together as well as others, as appropriate, within Imperial College. The PhD is co-funded by the EPSRC and the NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). The post is part of a recently funded MRC Addiction Research Clinical (MARC) training programme which is led by Professor Anne Lingford-Hughes, Imperial College London and is a consortium also involving King’s College London (KCL; lead by Professor Colin Drummond) and University of Bristol (UoB; lead by Professor Matt Hickman).
The successful candidate will become skilled in the use of neuroimaging (eg. MR, PET) to investigate the neurobiology of substance abuse and addiction. The Centre for Neuropsychopharmacology has a range of ongoing and completed studies providing a wealth of neuroimaging data (PET, fMRI, DTI, rsMRI, phMRI) for analysis.
