About us
Biosciences is one of the world's foremost centres for research and teaching in the biological sciences and one of the largest Divisions within UCL, undertaking a significant amount of research and teaching. The Division has a diverse portfolio addressing all areas of biology from protein interactions to cell function, organism development, genetics, population studies and the environment. Computational modelling approaches are frequently used alongside experimental research programmes and much of our research crosses traditional boundaries, including the relationship of biodiversity to the health of the planet. Activity is underpinned by high calibre science technology platforms and state of the art equipment. Educational activity includes a range of undergraduate programmes, an expanding number of Masters Programmes and a substantial number of postgraduate research students.
About the role
Preterm born children are at higher risk of sensory processing disorders. The role holder will work on a collaborative health research project which aims to understand the early development of somatosensation in preterm infants and how this is related to sensory abilities in childhood. This will provide an early identification of individuals at risk of developing sensory processing challenges and associated neurodisabilities. The main purpose of this position is to recruit families of babies in the neonatal units at UCLH and carry out electroencephalography (EEG) in premature and term infants on the neonatal units and at 2- and 3-year follow-ups.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Physiologist as you will learn about research methods and will have the opportunity to lead your own research projects and attend national and international conferences. Previous post holders from other projects have been recruited by major research hospitals (e.g. Queen's Square, GOSH) or went on to develop their own clinical-research career.
The salary will match NHS Band 6 in London and will be limited to £44,230 per annum. An acceptable DBS check is required to carry out this role.
This role is an open-ended contract with a funding end date of 07/02/2028 in the first instance.
About you
You must have at least one of the following: MSc Clinical Science (Neurosensory Sciences), MSc Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, BSc Clinical Physiology (Neurophysiology), BSc in Healthcare Science (Neurosensory Sciences), PgCert Neurophysiology, or equivalent formal specialist training in the UK or abroad (e.g. BTEC HNC/D in Medical Physics and Physiological Measurement (MPPM) or equivalent experience + professional exam ANS/ECNE Part I). Post-qualification experience of clinical EEG (preferably in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit settings) is also essential.
You must have a keen interest in applying your clinical neurophysiology knowledge to help advance research, excellent skills to work as part of a team, and be willing to participate in the academic activities of the team.
What we offer
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits, some of which are below: 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave, 8 bank holidays, and 6 closure days) Additional 5 days' annual leave purchase scheme Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE) Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan Immigration loan Relocation scheme for certain posts On-Site nursery On-site gym Enhanced maternity, paternity, and adoption pay Employee assistance programme: Staff Support Service Discounted medical insurance
