A postdoctoral position will be available
at the Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre, Newcastle University,
England, in early 2009. The position will be to work on an MRC-funded
project to monitor liver glutathione synthesis and concentration, with
the aim of monitoring liver defences against oxidative stress and the
progression of liver disease.
The project will require a post-doctoral researcher to develop and apply
in vivo 13C spectroscopy methods on a Varian 7T preclinical scanner and
a Philips 3T Achieva scanner. The project is at the interface between
magnetic resonance physics and bioscience research, and involves a
collaboration between the Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre and the
Newcastle University Liver Research Group. The postdoctoral researcher
will be responsible for development of protocols for in vivo 13C
spectroscopy, implementation of these protocols in preclinical and human
studies, and analysis of MR and biochemical data.
The Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres)
is a newly-formed purpose-built Newcastle University research facility
with a mission to develop and apply novel, non-invasive magnetic
resonance methodology to solve important problems of human health.
The postdoctoral position will be advertised in early 2009 at
www.jobs.ac.uk and on the
Newcastle University Vacancies website (www.ncl.ac.uk/vacancies),
with an intended start date of early-mid 2009. Further information will
be available from these sites and the Newcastle Magnetic Resonance
Centre website (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres)
when the post is officially advertised. Interested candidates are also
welcome to have an informal discussion about the post with Dr Pete
Thelwall ( pete.thelwall@ncl.ac.uk,
+44 191 248 1150). |
