[SMITH D.T.]

Advert for 2.5 year Research Associate Position at Durham University:
Start date: April 2009/Closing date: 10th of March 2009. 

Applications are invited for a three year Research Associate position,
working with Dr. Thomas Schenk and Dr Daniel Smith on a Clinical
Neuroscience Project. This project will be carried out in collaboration
with the Department of Neurology at the Newcastle General Hospital. The
aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of a new therapy
for patients who develop visual problems after brain damage. This
project will be the first randomised control trial of this type of
treatment, and will offer the opportunity to develop clinical skills
with neuropsychological patients, and potentially produce a therapy
which could improve the quality of life for many thousands of
brain-injured individuals. 

Applicants should hold a first degree in Psychology, Medicine, Biology
or Neuroscience and preferably have a PhD/MD in a Clinical,
Neuropsychological or Neuroscience related field. Candidates should be
enthusiastic about Neuropsychology or Clinical Neuroscience, and should
have, or be keen to learn, the skills of human eye movement measurements
and the clinical assessment of visual disorders. 

The appointment is available immediately for 30 months but the start
date can be negotiated. Please direct informal inquiries to Dr. Thomas
Schenk (phone: 0191-3340438; or e-mail: Thomas.Schenk at dur.ac.uk or Dr.
Daniel Smith (phone: 0191-40436; or e-mail: Daniel.smith2 at dur.ac.uk) and
