Funded PhD in Psychosis Risk, Genetics, and Early-Life Factors Cardiff University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Medicine on shared genetic architecture of neuropsychiatric disorders and novel brain biomarkers . The project sits in the area of imaging genetics and aims to improve the biological specificity of brain phenotypes by implementing novel methods for diffusion weighted imaging in a very large cohort, including UK Biobank data, using the unique Connectome scanner at CUBRIC . The research will generate novel MRI metrics closer to brain b...

PhD opportunity: Neurobiology of Consciousness at the University of Cambridge , Department of Clinical Neurosciences, with Prof Emmanuel Stamatakis . This project asks fundamental questions about neuroscience and consciousness : how subjective experience emerges from neural activity, why consciousness changes under anaesthesia and psychedelic drugs, and how it can persist or disappear in severe brain injury. The research combines neuroimaging and computational neuroscience to study altered state...

Applications are open for the EMBL-EBI-Sanger Postdoctoral (ESPOD) programme, a collaborative postdoctoral opportunity between the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. The programme is designed for researchers interested in bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, data science, and related areas. ESPOD projects combine wet-lab and dry-lab experience, and applicants can choose from a list of available projects or propose their own project, provide...

Funded PhD studentship at Leeds Beckett University in the Carnegie School of Sport , focused on brain health , rugby league , athlete monitoring, neuropsychology, epidemiology, public health, and sport science. The project is part of the PROTECT programme (Player Risk Observation, Testing & Early-Care Targeting), a four-year collaboration with the Rugby League Cares Brain Health Fund, the University of Sydney, the University of Leeds, and the Rugby Football League. The PhD will help develop and ...

Cardiff University is advertising a funded PhD project on unravelling the physiological drivers of sleep-dependent glymphatic flow in Alzheimer’s disease using advanced MRI . The project sits in the Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy and is supervised by Prof Kevin Murphy . The research is part of the SleepBoost study, a £4.3m multi-centre investigation into how improving slow-wave sleep may enhance waste clearance in the brain and potentially slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease pathology. ...
