PhD Opportunities in Neuropsychology in New Zealand

The International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems at The University of Manchester is offering a PhD project on neuromorphic systems for low-latency and efficient multimodal processing, with a particular focus on speech and language technologies. Working with Luca Peres, Oliver Rhodes, and Patrycja Strycharczuk , the doctoral researcher will investigate how brain-inspired computing approaches can transform the way machines process and understand speech. The project combines neuromorphic audio and...

The Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) is recruiting a PhD researcher to join Nicola Molinaro’s Brain Rhythms and Cognition group in Donostia–San Sebastián, Spain. The PRO-LISTEN project examines how the adult brain adapts to learning and understanding an additional language. The research focuses on Spanish and Basque and uses naturalistic speech, longitudinal magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings and computational modelling to investigate language-related brain dynamics ove...

Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal is offering a full-time PhD opportunity through a Joint Doctoral Degree Program with the Indian Institute of Technology Jammu for the 2026–27 academic session. The project, “Exploring the Neural Mechanisms of Indian Classical Performing Arts: An Integrative Investigation,” examines the relationship between ancient Indian artistic traditions and modern science. The research will use neurophysiological methods and tools such as functional near-i...

The BRAIN Unit Lab at the University of Padua is seeking a doctoral researcher through the China Scholarship Council pathway for the 2027/2028 academic year. The PhD project sits at the intersection of neuroscience, neuroengineering, artificial intelligence and non-linear signal processing . The research environment focuses on advanced analysis of brain activity for clinical and technological applications. One major direction is brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neural signal decoding, includ...

RMIT University in Melbourne is offering a grant-funded PhD opportunity focused on myelin repair and therapeutic design . The project will investigate how the brain builds and repairs myelin, the insulating material that supports efficient neural communication, and how therapeutic strategies might be designed to promote this repair. The doctoral researcher will work across the Fleiss and Holien labs and use a combination of knockout mouse models and in vitro systems . The research will examine t...

The University of Oslo is offering a doctoral research fellowship at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry, affiliated with the Institute of Clinical Medicine and conducted in collaboration with the Department of Medical Genetics at Oslo University Hospital. The PhD project, Multimodal metabolic markers for mechanisms and predictive trajectories of Alzheimer’s disease , is part of the Back2Future project led by Professor Srdjan Djurovic. It will investigate whether early, heritable metabolic and p...

The Biomarkers in Brain Disease research group at Lund University is recruiting a PhD student to work on biomarkers and disease mechanisms in Huntington’s disease and related neurodegeneration. The project is centred on how the body’s biological clock, sleep and circadian rhythms may influence disease progression, building on the idea that disruptions in timing systems are not only symptoms but may also contribute to neurodegenerative processes. The doctoral project combines in vitro and in vivo...

This fully funded PhD will investigate precision medicine for low back pain , with the aim of improving how healthcare decisions are made and identifying which treatments work best for particular patients. The project will combine causal inference and machine learning across nationwide health databases and clinical trial data. The student will develop research expertise in data-driven treatment evaluation, health data analytics and methods for understanding variation in treatment outcomes. Resea...
