United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience: EASTBIO The role of eye position signals in spatial attention . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , psychology , and brain imaging , and investigates how the brain combines two eye-position signals— oculoproprioception and corollary discharge —to support spatial attention . The research uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) , behavioural tasks, and functional neuro...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton on metabolic health , GLP-1 receptor agonists , and pancreas–bone crosstalk . This project asks whether bone density loss seen in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is caused by the medication itself or by weight loss and reduced skeletal loading. It also investigates possible pancreatic effects of long-term exposure, especially in people with excess pancreatic fat. You will work with micro-CT imaging of patient pancreatic tissue, human stem-ce...

About this position

Queen’s University Belfast is advertising a PhD project in Neural Signatures of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease within the School of Psychology.

This research focuses on Parkinson’s disease and the debilitating symptom of freezing of gait (FoG), where individuals feel like their feet are “glued to the floor.” The project aims to identify abnormal brain activity associated with FoG and to uncover cortical signatures that precede or occur during freezing episodes.

The study will use high-density mobile EEG, electromyography, and motion capture during balance perturbations and clinical gait assessments. The work is relevant to neuroscience, medical science, biomedical engineering, and psychology, with potential implications for biomarkers of freeze risk and future adaptive therapies such as rehabilitation or closed-loop deep brain stimulation.

Funding: The project is listed as unfunded.

Supervisor: Dr Andrew Monaghan (Queen’s University Belfast). Contact: [email protected].

Study mode: Full-time for 3 years.

Application: Use the project page’s Apply Now option or register your interest via the university page.
