We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Research Assistant to join the Experimental and Clinical Sleep Medicine group within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. We conduct human experimental and clinical studies on sleep and disorders of sleep with the aim of understanding their pathophysiology and treatment. The post is funded by Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (OH BRC) Better Sleep theme. As a theme member the post holder will benefit from exciting opportunities for training and career development, which may prepare the post holder to apply for a PhD/DPhil.
The post holder will provide research support to a range of laboratory-based and experimental sleep/circadian intervention studies. Principal duties include: supporting participant recruitment and assessments; data collection, scoring, and analysis; scheduling over-night sleep studies; preparing manuscripts for publication; supporting patient and public involvement activities and other OH-BRC activities (for example, helping with the collation of information for the annual report).
It is essential that you hold a MSc (or equivalent) in psychology, neuroscience, or related discipline, together with some relevant sleep/circadian research experience. It is desirable that you have a desire to pursue a PhD/DPhil in neuroscience.
