About this position

Fully Funded PhD Position in Motor Neuroscience and Kinesiology

Louisiana State University’s College of Human Sciences & Education, School of Kinesiology, and Motor Neuroscience Laboratory are seeking a PhD student for Fall 2027. The thesis will investigate how the brain learns new skills, makes decisions during movement, and how neurological disease affects learning.

The research will use methods including electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and electromyography (EMG), with interests spanning motor neuroscience, motor control, neurophysiology, skill learning, movement decision-making, and neurological disease.

Applicants should hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in psychology, kinesiology, neuroscience, or engineering. Curiosity and a strong interest in motor control and neurophysiology are required. The position is fully funded, although the post does not specify the stipend or tuition arrangements.

For funding consideration, apply by February 1. Before the formal application, contact Dr. Chris Hill with a CV and a brief description of your background and research interests. Further information is available from the Motor Neuroscience Laboratory website.
