PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in United Kingdom

The University of Reading is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, based at Earley Gate Campus in the United Kingdom. The three-year, fixed-term post will contribute to an Eagles Autism Foundation-funded project investigating sensory hyperreactivity in autistic children. The successful researcher will prepare participants for magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) scanning, conduct MRI/MRS analysis, write findings for pu...

[Funded studentship with fees covered and a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter for research on R2T2-Med: Resource-Aware AI for Scalable and Deployable Medical Image Analysis . This project addresses a major challenge in modern healthcare AI: medical image analysis models can be accurate, but often require high computational power, memory, and processing time. That makes them difficult to scale to population-level research and expensive or imprac...

Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford in the Department of Experimental Psychology , working with the Brain, Speech & Language Research Group led by Kate Watkins . This is a research position in Neuroscience , Cognitive Neuroscience , Psychology , Speech and Language Sciences , and related areas. The project is part of the ERC-funded STUTTER study, which investigates the neural mechanisms underlying stuttering across the lifespan. The postholder will lead a randomised controlled tr...

PhD opportunity in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language at the University of Birmingham . The project, Keeping Up with Conversation: Bilingualism and the Resilient Ageing Brain , is co-supervised by Tamara Swaab , Andrea Krott , and Eleanor Huizeling . It sits at the intersection of language processing , bilingualism , prediction , attention , speech perception , gestures , and cognitive ageing . The student will investigate how younger and older adults use speech, visible speech, and gestures...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Unifying distributional and distribution-free uncertainty quantification for trustworthy medical decisions . This project sits at the intersection of machine learning , uncertainty quantification , statistics , and medical science . The research aims to combine distributional approaches (such as hierarchical models) with distribution-free approaches (such as conformal prediction) to better understand and control uncertainty in high-stakes clini...

Postgraduate research project at the University of Southampton in the School of Electronics and Computer Science : Reliable forecasts of multiple sclerosis progression using conformal prediction . This is a PhD opportunity focused on developing machine learning methods for forecasting disability progression in multiple sclerosis with reliable, guaranteed uncertainty. The project uses conformal prediction and aims to create methods whose guarantees hold for clinically meaningful groups of patient...

[4-year Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership PhD studentship including tuition fees paid directly to the university, a stipend of £21,805 per year (2026/27 rate), and a Research Training Support Grant of £5,000 per year.] PhD Studentship: Watching a fungus fight back: mapping antimicrobial resistance in 3-D as it happens at the University of East Anglia is an interdisciplinary doctoral project exploring how fungi respond in the hours after exposure to non-lethal chemic...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham on Exercise, Cognition and Appetite in the Ageing Brain . The project asks how appetite regulation, food-related decision-making, episodic memory, and the hippocampus may be linked in older adults, and whether exercise can help. The successful candidate will join a large UKRI-funded study running a year-long exercise intervention with older adults. Research activities include MRI, fitness testing, cognitive assessment, a test-meal para...
