Experience and Skills: Recent Formal Training: 31 Mar 2011: Data Protection Update Session – Research Office and IT Services, Faculty of Medical & Human Sciences, The University of Manchester 16 Feb 2011: Good Clinical Practice in Research Training – Research & Innovation Division, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 21 Oct 2010: Research Ethics Study Day – Research Office, Faculty of Medical & Human Sciences, The University of Manchester Computer Programming: I am presently an active code‐writer in Matlab, and have also coded in IDL and C++. I am gaining more experience and confidence with C++ (including object‐orientated) programming, and shell scripting under Linux/Unix. I used to program in Java and Pascal during my MSc and BSc degree programmes, respectively, but I’m probably very rusty now Organising Scholarly Meetings: Between November 2004 and March 2011 I organised the Magnetic Resonance Meetings that are held every other Friday in Imaging Science & Biomedical Engineering at The University of Manchester. I managed a schedule of presentations and maintained an internal wiki page on past, present and future meetings. I tried to seek potential volunteers to present at the meetings and arranged special meetings to coincide with the visits of guests who had been invited to present to our Research Group. Our meetings usually involved talks on research work, progress updates, journal clubs, topical discussions or practice presentations for upcoming conferences Teaching and Students: In September 2008, I became a tutor‐facilitator and a reviewer for the Personal and Professional Development Portfolio of MBChB Year 1 students in the Manchester Medical School, and in February 2011 I started tutoring and reviewing Year 2 students. In the spring of 2010, 2011 and 2012, I contributed to the guidance of intercalating medical students on their 10‐week research projects involving MRI diffusion and tractography data in healthy aged humans and human patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Alzheimer’s Disease. In the summer of 2010, I co‐supervised one MSc student on their Dissertation research project involving analyses of MRI anatomic and diffusion data in healthy young humans. I also co‐ supervised a second‐year undergraduate medical student from Cambridge University who joined us on a six‐week Wellcome Trust Biomedical Vacation Scholarship placement carrying out a research project involving analyses of MRI anatomic and diffusion data in healthy aged humans and human patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Alzheimer’s Disease. In the summer of 2009, I contributed to the guidance of two MSc students on their Dissertation research projects involving MRI tractography data in human and non‐human primates. Public Engagement of Science: I am a member of ScienceGrrl (http://www.sciencegrrl.co.uk/) as one of their supporting ScienceBoyz! I feature on the May page of the ScienceGrrl 2013 Calendar, along with Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell (President & Vice Chancellor of The University of Manchester) and Dr Heather Williams (Director of ScienceGrrl, Senior Medical Physicist in Nuclear Medicine, and my good friend)!!! Reviewing Journal Manuscripts: http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/hamied.haroon/ 12 / 13 07 December 2012
I was asked to review manuscripts that had been submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging in February 2007, and to the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in December 2011. Unfortunately, I recommended that the manuscript be rejected on both occasions! Reviewing Funding Applications: In April 2009, April 2010 and April 2011, I was a Panel Reviewer for applications submitted to the Nuffield Undergraduate Research Bursaries Scheme. Up to now, the applications I highly recommended have been funded by the Nuffield Trustees and the ones I have not recommended have not been funded! Joining the Efforts for Disability Equality: In September 2007, I was elected as the first Chair of the Disabled Staff Network at The University of Manchester. As such I am expected to: arrange and chair the Network’s regular meetings; send out messages and consultation papers to members of the Network and collate feedback; be a point of contact for the University’s Equality & Diversity Team; and to represent disabled staff at the Equality & Diversity Forum which includes the Chairs of all the other Staff Networks and is also attended by the University’s President and Registrar & Secretary. I hope my previous experience will be beneficial for serving my colleagues at the University. In my first year as an undergraduate student at UMIST (as it was formally known) I was elected as the Disability Access Secretary in the Students’ Union Council and was an active participant in the drafting of UMIST’s first Disability Statement. I was also actively involved in the creation of the Access Summit Centre, which continues to provide services and support to disabled students in post‐16 education across the North West of England. Being an Employer: I have a personal support assistant (PA) who helps me to manage everyday physical tasks I find difficult to do. Since April 1997 I have employed my PSA on a private basis, using Direct Payments funding from Manchester City Council Social Services and funding from other central Government agencies. I have been able to manage this sensitive employer‐employee relationship well, taking a friend‐based approach, following all the relevant legislation and regulations. I’ve even learnt how to deal with payroll matters successfully, including tax and national insurance calculations and returns to HM Revenue & Customs. In October 2006 I engaged the services of an accountant to deal with all the employment paperwork that take up so much time, so I now only need to decide on the hours that my PA is to work, holiday entitlement, etc. Languages: English is my first language. Punjabi and Urdu are languages that we use in our family and community, so I can understand these languages fully, and can read Urdu to some extent. My wife is helping me to improve on my poor verbal fluency in Punjabi and Urdu. We use many Arabic phrases routinely as Arabic is the language of our faith, Islam. I can read the original classical Arabic text of the Holy Quran proficiently and have memorised some portions of it along with the formulae for the prayers we offer. My understanding of the Arabic language is improving with the help of my Arab friends at our local Mosque.
