PhD in Sleep-Dependent Glymphatic Flow in Alzheimer’s Disease using Advanced MRI Cardiff University in United Kingdom

MSCA-DN PhD opportunity in preclinical outcomes in zebrafish models of leukodystrophies within the POLARIS doctoral network . The project is hosted by the University of York and focuses on accelerating therapy development for leukodystrophies, rare genetic disorders affecting brain white matter. The selected PhD candidate will work with Dr Noémie Hamilton at the York Biomedical Research Institute and the Department of Biology, with academic research and the PhD defence based at York. Research to...

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 at the University of Cambridge in parallel-transmit 7T MRI (pTx-7T-MRI) for epilepsy and whole-brain sub-millimetre imaging. The Department of Clinical Neurosciences is advertising a competition-funded PhD project supervised by Prof C Rodgers . The project builds on recent clinical work showing that pTx-7T-MRI can reveal abnormalities missed by standard hospital 3T MRI and PET scans, improving clinical management for patients with epilepsy. Research themes include MRI pulse seque...

Funded PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Medicine on finding the earliest signs of psychosis in young people at high genetic risk. This project focuses on the developmental origins of psychosis , using unique clinical and population-based datasets to identify early-life factors linked to psychotic symptoms. The research examines how genetic risk interacts with childhood experiences, behaviour, development, and environmental influences to shape mental health outcomes....

University of Cambridge is hiring for 2 Postdoc and 1 Research Assistant positions in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences , within an Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP) -funded project. The project focuses on Parkinson’s disease progression and aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression using cutting-edge spatial multi-omics approaches in human post-mortem brain tissue . This opportunity sits at the intersection of neuroscience , neuropathology , molecul...
