Introduction

In November 2010 the University of Oxford created the new Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, based in the West Wing of the John Radcliffe Hospital. The Department has brought together the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics, the Department of Clinical Neurology, including the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain and the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology.

The Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences brings together world class teaching and research within the clinical neurosciences. There are wide-ranging opportunities for research interactions with the University of Oxford, which is consistently rated as one of the top five biomedical research centres in the World.

There are opportunities in the Department for clinical and non-clinical postgraduates wishing to undertake research training. Active seminar programmes are a feature of departmental and interdepartmental activities in the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, Wellcome Trust Gene Centre for Human Genetics and the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain.
