  • Working within a scientific team to deliver an interdisciplinary approach to research project.

Main Duties and Activities:

  • Undertake laboratory MRI (Siemens 1.5 T) testing as directly.
  • Prepare data for analysis and publication (T2 a T2* mapping).
  • Biomechanical data analysis using Visual 3D software.
  • Biomechanical and MRI data analysis and statistical using SPSS, Matlab, R-software.
  • Prepare a scientific article for publication.
  • Present research results at conferences.
  • Perform any other duties as requested as directed by Head of the research project.
