The Division of Neurosurgery at the National University Hospital (NUH) is hiring a Research Assistant (RA) to conduct recruitment and data analysis for ongoing studies on the development of connectomics and precision neuromodulation in stroke and brain tumors.
The RA will play an important role in the development of research projects on investigating individualised parcellations of functional connectivity and precision neuromodulation in patients with stroke and brain tumors. Successful candidates will be expected to perform interviews with patients in local hospitals and at patients’ homes, facilitate imaging scans for patients, develop an analysis pipeline on individualised parcellations of functional connectivity, and facilitate neuromodulation trials in patients with stroke and brain tumors.
