Using microRNA inhibitors to boost GABAergic inhibition as a genetic therapy for epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterised by recurrent spontaneous seizures and cognitive co-morbidities. Current small molecule approaches to treating epilepsy are ineffective in a significant portion of cases, and are associated with substantial adverse effects. Read more

Neurovascular transmission in carotid arteries (FOUNTAINS_U25BHF)
Primary supervisor - Prof Samuel Fountain. Carotid arteries perfuse the head and neck, supplying the brain and eyes through the internal carotid artery, and extra-cranial tissue through the external carotid artery. Read more
Assessing the physical impact of a six-week yoga intervention on brain structure, function, cognition and inflammatory profile in healthy volunteers
Background. The use of yoga and meditation has increased in popularity as a positive health regulator in recent years and has been associated with several beneficial health outcomes in a variety of populations (1), including. Read more
Mental Workload Detection from Brain Signals
Are you intrigued by the complexities of human cognition and its intersection with technology? Are you passionate about leveraging neuroscience to enhance human-computer interaction? We invite applications for a PhD position in the fascinating realm of mental workload detection from brain signals. Read more
Funded PhD- Finding the missing link in memory networks: Deciphering cortical-thalamic communication pathways critical for successful memory
A major important challenge in neuroscience is to understand how information from our environment is learned, stored and recalled. Read more
Self-funded PhD - Investigation of hypervigilance to threat in the adult rat
There is a strong phylogenetic argument that the brain circuits and mechanisms underlying detection and reactions to threats to survival are well conserved between mammals. Read more
Developing neuroinformatic phenotypes for cerebral organoids
Human cerebral organoids are generated from stem cells, forming a brain-like tissue in the laboratory dish. When grown from patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), they offer an in vitro model for mechanistic studies of brain disorders and for personalised drug screening. Read more
Epigenetic mechanisms in stem cell models of Rett syndrome. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Behaviour change through Neuroaesthetics: Investigating Art-based solutions to address workplace and societal challenges
This programme offers the chance to undertake a substantial piece of work that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to the fields of neuroaesthetics and psychological and behavioural science in the BRAINS Lab at Kingston University. Read more
Funded PhD- Computing and translating mechanisms of neural network dysfunction associated with psychiatric risk
Psychotic disorders are common, chronic and poorly-treated; his cannot change until we understand their biological basis. Read more
Funded PhD- Investigating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying apathy in Parkinson’s disease
Apathy is a debilitating and highly prevalent symptom in people with Parkinson’s disease. It is often refractory to conventional dopaminergic therapy and is associated with poorer health-related quality of life. Read more
Early and precise diagnosis in Alzheimer's disease spectrum disorders
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is essential to be able to make post-diagnostic recommendations for pharmacological and non- pharmacological interventions. Read more
Music and language processing in autism and amusia
Music and language are fundamental traits of human existence. They both rely on complex sound sequences to convey meaning. It has been hotly debated whether the two are processed through distinct cognitive modules or using shared mechanisms. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Synaptic plasticity deficits in schizophrenia
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project outline: Schizophrenia is a common and severe disease with a strong genetic influence. Read more
Neural Circuits for Sex and Memory in the Fly
We study how sensory information is transformed into behaviour in the fly brain. We have a strong focus on the olfactory system, because olfaction is a relatively shallow sense. Read more
