We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Biomedical Engineering (MRI) to join The Bulte Group in the IBME at the Department of Engineering Science (Headington).  The post is funded by EPSRC and is fixed-term until 31 May 2026.

The role will entail collecting and analysing functional MRI data from healthy volunteers, including both BOLD and ASL from 3T Siemens clinical scanners, in addition to collecting data using transcranial Doppler ultrasound, near infrared spectroscopy and a host of other physiological, psychological, genetic, and demographic measures. The project will use respiratory stimuli such as hypercapnic air mixtures delivered via a mask, breath-holds and hyperventilation to induce blood flow changes.

You should hold a relevant PhD/DPhil or be near completion, together with relevant experience. Strong communication skills are essential, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and findings, and represent the research group at meetings. Experience in recruiting participants and collecting clinical research data would be an advantage.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof Daniel Bulte (email: daniel.bulte@eng.ox.ac.uk).

Only online applications received before midday on 2 May 2025 can be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, including a brief statement of research interests (describing how past experience fit with the advertised position), CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
