Deadline: July 22, 2025
Applications are open for the Imperial College London Clinical Research Fellow Program 2025. This Clinical Research Fellow post supports an exciting, multidisciplinary NIHR-funded translational research project to develop a tool to automatically interpret electroencephalography (EEG) and provide information that healthcare professionals can use at the point of care. The clinical motivation is the detection and measurement of delirium and identification of patients with non-convulsive status epilepticus.
You will work in the group of academic neurologist and computer scientist Dr Gregory Scott, with a team of collaborators having expertise in translational neuroscience, clinical neurology, signal processing, machine learning, neurophysiology, and human-centred design.
Responsibilities
- You will conduct the planning, organisation, data collection, and analysis of a significant research study in hospitalised patients, including administration and regulatory aspects.
- You will be expected to spend much time in hospitals carrying out research assessments on patients, using a combination of EEG (including simple off-the-shelf devices), clinical/behavioural scales, a tablet-based cognitive testing platform, and taking samples for blood biomarker testing.
- You will also actively participate more broadly in the research programme of the group.
Benefits
- A unique opportunity to work on an exciting project that can transform our management of major clinical problem
- Join a highly multi-disciplinary lab, to join a world-leading institution, and be part of the UK Dementia Research Institute
- Progress your clinical academic career with support from academic neurologist Dr Scott, in a department with an excellent track record of supporting clinical academics, in an institution with dedicated support for clinical fellows.
Eligibility
- Applicant should be medically qualified (MBBS or equivalent) and have full GMC registration;
- Experience of working with hospitalised patients and healthcare professionals;
- Knowledge and experience of methods used for human electrophysiology, particularly EEG equipment, acquisition, and analysis;
- Good knowledge of human research ethical principles and methods including Good Clinical Practice;
- Willingness to work as part of a team split across sites and to be open-minded and cooperative;
- Ability to organise your own work with minimal supervision;
- A creative approach to problem-solving; a “doer”.
