This doctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project sits within the Blast Induced Neurotrauma (BINT) Branch and focuses on understanding how repeated exposure to tactical training environments may affect the human brain even when there is no diagnosable injury. The fellow will join a small, experienced research and engineering group that has spent the past decade...

PhD project at the University of Cambridge: Understanding Brain Resilience, Vascular Health and Early Neurodegeneration. This project sits in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and is supervised by Dr Kamen Tsvetanov. It focuses on why some people remain cognitively healthy despite brain pathology and genetic risk, while others develop cognitive impairment and dementia. The research combines multimodal neuroimaging, cognitive assessment, physiological measures of vascular health, genetic d...
