Funded PhD - Decoding the processing of traumatic memories during sleep using machine learning
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterised by trauma-related flashbacks, avoidance, hyperarousal and nightmares, with current therapies failing to deliver long-term control of symptoms in ~50% of sufferers. Read more
Impact of daily activity levels on student mental health: a longitudinal and neuroscience project
Primary Supervisor: Dr Frederike Beyer. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Deadline: 29th January 2025. Project Overview. Read more
Funded PhD - Small yet powerful: how miRNAs fuel resilience to stress
Summary of the project. Anxiety disorders are complex mental health illnesses driven by multiple genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Read more
Funded PhD - Chrono-Nutrition Meets Chrono-Pharmacology: Exploring Neurobiological Underpinnings of Intermittent Fasting and Pharmacological Interventions in Obesity Management
Life on Earth is subordinate to periodic alterations in the environment, with most notable changes seen from day to night. To react, anticipate, and adapt to these cyclic changes, living organisms evolved endogenous 24h timekeeping mechanisms named circadian clocks. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - Neural and molecular underpinnings of negative symptoms in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a debilitating and often chronic psychiatric disorder that is distressing for patients, their families and their peers. Read more

EASTBIO: Synchronising the Brain: Electrical Synapses and Motor Control
Neurons need to be able to communicate quickly with each other to allow an animal to respond to an ever-changing environment. Electrical synapses, mediated by gap junctions, are critical for this rapid neuronal communication. Read more
Learning graphical models for heterogeneous functional data with applications in neuroscience
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a the below project. About the Project. Read more
Neural Networks and Bayesian Methods in Computational Neuroscience
This PhD will use deep learning methods in computational neuroscience, with a particular focus on modelling and analysis in neuroimaging. Read more
Funded PhD - Neurophysiological impact of brooding quality in chicks
Memory is believed to be supported by neurochemical and structural changes in the brain known as neuroplasticity. Environmental enrichment, such as providing toys and social interaction, promotes neuroplasticity and cognitive ability in rodents. Read more
