MSc and PhD positions in Sensorimotor Neuroscience, Motor Control, and Machine Learning at University of Western Ontario

The Sensorimotor Superlab at the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, is now accepting applications for MSc and PhD positions for Fall 2026. The lab, led by Professors Paul Gribble, Andrew Pruszynski, and Jörn Diedrichsen, focuses on understanding how the brain controls movement, motor learning, and recovery from disease, placing motor control in the broader context of human cognition. Research projects involve behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, electrophysiology, and neurostimulation to investigate the human motor system and cerebellum. The lab is part of the Computational Brain Science Group and collaborates closely with the Pruszynski and Gribble labs. An important aspect of the research is the development of novel statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing brain imaging and electrophysiological data, with tools for cerebellar imaging and multivariate analysis. Students interested in the Collaborative Specialization in Machine Learning for Health and Biomedical Sciences are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants should have a strong background in neuroscience, computer science, statistics, or related fields. Application materials include a CV, a statement of research interest (max 2 pages), and contact information for three academic referees. Successful candidates must also apply separately to the Neuroscience, Computer Science, or Statistics graduate programs at the University of Western Ontario. International students should check program-specific deadlines and requirements. Funding for these positions is provided by CIHR, NSERC, BrainsCAN, Western University, and the Raynor Cerebellar Project. While specific stipend amounts and tuition coverage are not detailed, positions are typically fully funded for competitive applicants. The review of applications begins December 10th and continues until positions are filled. For more information on ongoing research and lab activities, visit the lab's website.
