Research opportunities in the Department of Psychology
Our Department of Psychology is among the world's top psychology departments*, excelling in both teaching and research. We offer the following research degree programmes. Read more
The neurophysiological basis of spontaneous fluctuations in neuroimaging signals
A technique called blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can determine levels of different activity in parts of the living human brain and how malfunctions can occur in disease. Read more
Understanding neurovascular coupling and its importance in the interpretation of modern neuroimaging techniques
During the past two decades, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the scientific technique of choice for investigating human brain function in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Read more

(EPSRC DTP) Imaging vascular inflammation in the brain using molecular MRI
The brain’s vasculature forms part of a highly specialized structure called the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The primary role of the BBB is to prevent damaging compounds or pathogens in the blood from entering the brain, while efficiently delivering essential nutrients to brain tissue. Read more
Assessing the hemodynamic signal sources of fMRI based spontaneous connectivity maps and how neuronal plasticity such as increased spatial working memory can change these networks
Many psychiatric (e.g. schizophrenia) and neurological diseases are characterised by a disturbance of the connections between different parts of the brain that need to communicate with one another. Read more
Intertemporal Processes in Neurocognitive Development
Join a programme of work that aims to build conceptual and empirical bridges between the physiological, psychological, and cultural influences on human adolescent development. Read more
PhD Studentship (3 years) In Vivo Diagnosis of Paediatric Brain Tumours using Multi-Modal Clinical MRI and Machine Learning
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) and the College of Health and Life Sciences, to be undertaken within the Artificial Intelligence in Paediatric Neuroimaging (AIPNI) Research Group at Aston University. Read more
The flexible use of human memory: High-precision imaging of subcortical-cortical networks
The PhD project will focus on understanding the flexible use of memory using high-precision neuroimaging. A key goal is to develop novel analytical approaches to maximize the context-dependent readout of mnemonic content. Read more
Using pharmacological agents to investigate the mechanisms of the neuronal vascular coupling
The changes in cerebral blood flow, volume and oxygenation that accompany increases in neural activity form the basis of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques such as blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which allow human brain mapping. Read more
The effects of bi/multilingualism on brain structure and function
Increasing evidence suggests that speaking two or more languages has particular effects on the brain. Read more
Understanding reward processing in adolescent depression
In our research group NRG-lab.co.uk we are interested in the symptoms of depression in adolescents. We are interested in how to best measure symptoms of anhedonia and how we can possibly develop new treatments for it by examining reward function. Read more
Understanding Anxiety in Parkinson’s disease (PD)
The proposed PhD will be nested within an already funded larger study on the mechanisms of anxiety in PD (AND-PD). Location: UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, London, Royal Free campus. Read more
Understanding and optimising motor cortex plasticity
Motor learning is a key skill required at all stages of life but is crucially important for recovery and development. A mechanistic understanding of the biological processes that underpin skill acquisition in healthy and pathological states is an important scientific and clinical goal. Read more
Fully funded (and no tuition) PhD program in psychiatric, translational research and basic Neuroscience with the option for a residency track for medical doctors.
We welcome applications starting on August 15, 2022 for a start in fall 2023 (deadline October 31, 2022). The International Max Planck Research School for Translational Psychiatry (IMPRS-TP) is offering PhD positions in molecular, cellular, and systemic psychiatric research to outstanding students.
