About us:

The post will be based at St Thomas’ Hospital in central London in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King’s College London:  https://www.kcl.ac.uk/bmeis. There is an unmatched infrastructure within the School to support cutting-edge translational research, including one of the UK’s only 7 Tesla MRI systems located inside a hospital environment, state-of-the-art engineering and physics laboratories, high-performance computing, and industry collaboration through the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering.

About the role:

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant to join Dr Ines Violante’s Research Group at the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, King’s College London. You will be part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team with access to cutting-edge imaging facilities, sleep labs, and world-leading expertise.

This position is part of a BBSRC-funded project aimed at developing novel approaches to modulate sleep dynamics and support memory consolidation.

The overarching goal of the project is to advance our understanding of the human brain by using causal, non-invasive methods to modulate hippocampal activity. Specifically, the research focuses on exploring the spatial and temporal dynamics of cortical-hippocampal communication during sleep.

In this role, you will support the use of electroencephalography (EEG), non-invasive brain stimulation (including temporal interference stimulation), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). You will be responsible for participant recruitment, data collection (including overnight sleep studies), equipment setup and testing, and data handling and study administration.

The position is primarily based at St Thomas’ Hospital, with additional data collection taking place at the Surrey Sleep Research Centre. As such, the role will require occasional travel and overnight work to support the execution of sleep-related experiments.

This role offers hands-on training in a wide range of techniques, including EEG, brain stimulation, and MRI, as well as opportunities to develop technical, analytical, and professional skills within a collaborative research environment.

We welcome applicants with a degree in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, psychology, biomedical sciences, or a related discipline. While prior experience in participant-facing research, data collection, or technical equipment handling is desirable, we also welcome candidates who demonstrate strong interpersonal and organisational skills, a willingness to learn, and a problem-solving mindset.

This is a full-time post (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract for 3.5 years (42 months).
