Neuroscience (modelling) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 33 Neuroscience (modelling) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Normative modelling of resting-state EEG across the lifespan for application in the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease

With a rapidly aging human population worldwide, neurodegenerative diseases represent a pressing medical and societal concern. Given the increase in life expectancy, dementia is expected to affect almost 152 million people by 2050 (Alzheimer’s Disease International, 2018). Read more

PhD in stem cell modelling for neuropsychiatric disorders

This project provides a unique opportunity to explore the developmental origins of schizophrenia—a severe mental health disorder—using cutting-edge patient-derived stem cell models. Read more

Fractional order modelling of neurons

Project Overview. Fractional order calculus (integro-differential equations that are of non-integral order) is an emerging methodology with wide applications across all areas of Physics and Engineering. Read more

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach

This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.

Construction and attentional control of complex thought and behaviour

  Research Group: Centre for Mind and Behaviour
Research Group. Centre for Mind and Behaviour. Proposed supervisory team. Prof Peter Bright (Psychology). Dr Mike Pake. Dr Ian van der Linde (Computing & Information Science). Read more

Funded PhD - Determining the genetic and circadian basis of bipolar disorder

This project will be part of the University of Bristol - University of Kent Cotutelle Programme. It will be jointly supervised by Prof James Hodge (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/phys-pharm-neuro/people-new/hodge/) and Dr Alice French at the University of Bristol, and by Prof Gurprit Lall at University of Kent. Read more

15 Fully Funded PhD Scholarships in Engineering, Informatics and Cognitive Science

Outstanding applicants are invited to apply to our range of 15 fully funded scholarships. For September 2024 entry, these scholarships are in the fields of Engineering, Informatics, and Cognitive Science. Read more

Systemic infections accelerate tau spreading by promoting glial activation

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, with a complex biology. In this PhD project, we aim to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathology. Read more

Exploring Sensorimotor Function and Developing Rehabilitation Strategies using Experimental and Computational Approaches

In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team consisting of biologists, clinicians, engineers, mathematicians, and computational biologists and startups around the globe, we aim to decipher the organizational principles of sensorimotor function in mammals. Read more
