PhD in Pain as Neurobiological Surprise: Human Brain Imaging and Animal Studies Cardiff University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in Chronic pain, sensory hypersensitivity and neurodiversity , hosted by the Cardiff School of Psychology and linked to the GW4 BioMed3 Doctoral Landscape Programme . This project explores why chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, dysmenorrhea and back pain are often associated with heightened sensitivity or aversion to everyday sensory input, and why chronic pain is more prevalent in neurodivergent people (including autistic and ADHD individuals). T...

This fixed-term post (until October 2028) is part-time (0.7 FTE) and supports major research programmes including Children Growing Up in Liverpool (C-GULL) , Healthy Brains, Healthy Futures (HBHF) , the Liverpool arm of the Wellcome-funded ANXIOMICS programme, and a 0.25 FTE contribution...

PhD opportunity in Psychiatric Nutrigenomics focused on gene–diet interaction, FADS2, and psychiatric risk. This fully funded doctoral project is offered through the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership and is part of an interdisciplinary supervisory team across Cardiff University , University of Exeter , University of Bath , and collaborators at Maastricht University . The research asks how genetic variation and dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) interact at the molecular and c...

Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow opening in the Cognitive-Motor Learning Laboratory led by Dr. Aaron Wong . The project sits at the intersection of cognition , motor neuroscience , and stroke rehabilitation . The successful candidate will study how people learn and plan complex real-world behaviors, with a particular focus on how individuals monitor their performance during skilled tool-use actions and how this error awareness may be ...

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...
