PhD Opportunities in Electrophysiology in Australia

This PhD opportunity focuses on developing multimodal foundation models and agentic artificial intelligence for heart rhythm disorders at Imperial College London. The project will combine electrocardiograms, electronic health records, clinical free text and medical imaging. The research will investigate foundation models, multimodal fusion, large language models and agentic AI, including AI co-scientist approaches that support multiple stages of the research process. The student will work within...

This doctoral project is based in the Bok Lab at Lund University and sits within the Lund Vision Group, a collaborative research environment focused on comparative visual science across the animal kingdom. The group brings together several labs and a broad mix of expertise, with work spanning jellyfishes, insects, crustaceans, squids, and vertebrates. The environment combines optics, electrophysiology, theoretical modelling, microscopy, molecular biology, and behavioural experiments to investiga...

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral project on the evolution of colour vision in marine invertebrates. The PhD researcher will investigate whether the firefly squid, a cephalopod, and the alciopid worm, an annelid, have independently evolved colour vision despite living in deep-water, night-time environments. The project will examine how colour vision influences behaviour and whether these species use visual processing circuits and principles comparable to those found in arthropo...

The Dresden International Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (DIGS-ILS) at Dresden University of Technology is a doctoral programme for research in the life sciences within a collaborative and international environment in Dresden. The programme is run in cooperation with the International Max Planck Research School for Cell, Developmental and Systems Biology (IMPRS-CellDevoSys) under the umbrella of the Dresden International PhD Programme (DIPP) . Students work across a broad se...

This PhD project at Wageningen University & Research investigates how taste is encoded in the brain of specialist caterpillars and butterflies. The work focuses on deciphering the neuronal code that these insects use to recognize their host plants, using the cabbage white butterflies ( Pieris spp.) as a model system. The project sits at the intersection of neuroscience, ecology, and evolutionary biology. It explores how insect herbivores and plants have coevolved, how toxic plant compounds and i...

Fully Funded PhD Position in Motor Neuroscience and Kinesiology Louisiana State University’s College of Human Sciences & Education, School of Kinesiology, and Motor Neuroscience Laboratory are seeking a PhD student for Fall 2027. The thesis will investigate how the brain learns new skills, makes decisions during movement, and how neurological disease affects learning. The research will use methods including electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and electromyograp...

Wageningen University & Research is offering a fully funded PhD position in insect neurobiology, sensory ecology, and insect-plant coevolution. The project will investigate how specialist caterpillars and butterflies encode plant taste in the brain and use chemical cues to recognize host plants. Using cabbage white butterflies ( Pieris spp.) as a model system, the researcher will compare gustatory coding between closely related species and between caterpillar and adult life stages. The work focu...

CiM-IMPRS PhD Programme in Life and Natural Sciences at the University of Münster is an interdisciplinary doctoral opportunity jointly run with the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine. The programme is designed for excellent students interested in biomedical research with a strong emphasis on imaging and quantitative approaches. PhD projects span a wide range of topics, including the analysis of basic cellular processes, developmental and stem cell biology, vascular biology, immunolog...

Karolinska Institutet in Huddinge, Sweden, is offering a full-time PhD position in digital lifestyles and mental wellbeing in adolescents, using mHealth and EEG methodologies. The doctoral student will join the IMPACT research group, led by Professor Marie Löf, and work within the research team of Researcher Ioannis Ioakeimidis. The project investigates how objectively measured digital lifestyle parameters relate to lifestyle behaviours, mental wellbeing and neurophysiological responses among ch...
