SOC 2114 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 59% sure that is the right code. The University of Sheffield is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Likely 2114 (Physical scientists) · 59% match
- Likely 2162 (Other researchers, unspecified discipline) · 15% match
- Likely 2113 (Biochemists and biomedical scientists) · 12% match
About the role
This is a 2 year fixed term opportunity for a post-doctoral MRI physicist to work on an ambitious Wellcome Trust funded neuroimaging grant. The project centers on the novel application of hyperpolarised xenon to study gas exchange in the brain. The post doc will be required to acquire pre-clinical data in a multidisciplinary team. Designing MR acquisition protocols and robust data analysis pipelines is essential to this role. Pulse sequences may be developed with the support of other senior scientists. This project seeks to understand the application of hyperpolarised xenon to detect early signs of brain diseases associated with the cerebral vasculature (specifically cerebral Small Vessel Disease). There is a clear route to human translation as these methods are already used in human research in Sheffield. Rigorous physiological validation of the method is the core aim.
