The Hull York Medical School is seeking candidates for a full
Professorship in Neuroscience
full details can be obtained from
http://www.hyms.ac.uk/jobs/leading_researchers.aspx
This post is part of a strategic plan to develop a research portfolio
within the newly formed HYMS Centre for Neuroscience, one of five
interactive and dynamic centres within the Medical School. The
successful candidate for this post will have an outstanding research
record demonstrating their commitment to research, innovative
leadership, teaching and learning. He or she will be expected to exploit
the considerable opportunities for collaborative research with
colleagues and existing research teams in the Universities of Hull and York.
The individual will have a specific remit to complement and enhance the
research activities of the Wellcome-Wolfson Centre for Hyperpolarisation
in MRI. The Centre is a new facility being developed within the
University of York. It has been formed to take a major advance in
molecular imaging from the bench to the bedside. The facility will house
state-of-the-art preclinical scanning facilities, NMR, DNP and extensive
synthetic and analytical chemistry capabilities, that support the
development of the use of nuclear spin hyperpolarisation in a wide range
of biomolecules, models of disease processes and eventually, in clinical
practice.
Candidates with expertise in the study of molecular or imaging
neuroscience are particularly encouraged to apply, although any research
programme that extends our current strengths of neuroscience, imaging
and chemistry would be considered. In addition to the development of a
research programme, the post holders will contribute to the teaching of
neuroscience and imaging science to undergraduate students studying
medicine and biomedical science.
Enquiries should be directed to Prof Tony Kendrick, Dean of HYMS,
email:Tony.Kendrick@hyms.ac.uk, Prof. Simon Duckett (Hyperpolarisation)

Antony.Morland@.york.ac.uk, can be approached with specific enquiries
about the current research environment.
Further details, including an outline Job description and Person
specification, are available in the briefing document.
