Content	[Job Description] One full-time （or part-time） research assistant wanted to work on outcome prediction in acute ischaemic stroke patients. The project will be performed in collaboration with Dr Sung-Chun Tang in the Stroke Unit at NTU Hospital, where the relevant clinical team has gathered a very large database of patients with acute ischaemic stroke. The aim of this project is to determine whether it is possible to predict accurately the outcome of those patients who suffer from atrial fibrillation （AF）, which is a major risk factor in stroke patients, using only simple, non-imaging, measurements. A positive outcome would enable those patients most at risk to be identified very early （leading to better care and outcomes） using just simple, cheap, instrumentation （making the research highly translational）. This would have clear clinical application and help to guide treatment and to improve outcomes in this patient population. Success in this patient group would also provide a basis for outcome prediction in other patient groups. For further information, please contact Professor Stephen Payne. https://www.cerebralhaemodynamics.com The duties of the role include: 1. Engaging in original research relating to signal processing and outcome prediction in acute ischaemic stroke patients； 2. Writing papers for publication and presenting work at conferences； 3.
