Student assistants sought for research project on depression and brain energy metabolism

Do you want to help investigate the biological mechanisms behind depression in an interdisciplinary research environment?

We are seeking hourly-paid student assistants for a new research project that investigates how depression affects the regulation of glucose metabolism and cerebral blood flow. The project combines advanced PET and MRI scans with physiological stress tests to generate new knowledge about brain energy metabolism in depression. The project is supported by the Lundbeck Foundation (https://lundbeckfonden.com/en/regulation-of-brain-glucose-metabolism-and-blood-flow-in-patients-with-depression).

We are looking for students from

• Medical studies
• Psychology studies
• Engineering programs (e.g., biomedical engineering, health technology or related fields)

The tasks, depending on qualifications, may include

• Recruitment and contact with participants
• Clinical and cognitive assessments
• Data handling and quality assurance
• Practical assistance during research visits
• Analysis and processing of research data
• Administrative tasks related to the project

We offer insight into clinical research at a high international level, flexible working hours, and opportunities for professional development and participation in a strong research environment.

We expect you to be responsible, structured, and interested in research.

Salary and employment terms are determined in accordance with the agreement Administration and IT staff etc. for the professional group of office assistants and student assistants, concluded between HK and Regions8s Payroll and Tariff Board.
