Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Research Assistant to join the CNTW Research Delivery team to support the delivery of two NIHR Portfolio Studies focused on neurostimulation. The post is for 36 months and responsibilities will be split between each study. The first study focuses on bipolar depression. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that uses a very small electrical current applied through the scalp and has shown promise as a treatment for depression. The second study focuses on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation which doesn't need an anaesthetic and is administered in clinic. rTMS could represent a treatment option for adolescents with depression who have not recovered after an anti-depressant and psychological treatment or do not want those treatments. The successful applicant will be involved in the delivery of the rTMS intervention as well as supporting with wider research activities. Please find attached job description for full details.
