Improving TMS-EEG acquisition for clinical populations
Commercial partner: Welcony (Magstim Company Ltd and MagstimEGI). Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has emerged as a promising non-invasive technology for stimulating brain circuits, with significant implications for both neuroscience research and clinical treatments. Read more
Rapid MRI scanning for population-level neuroimaging
Commercial partner: Siemens Healthineers. The UK Biobank (UKB) is the largest research database of brain images in the world, having recently reached 90% of its target of 100,000 neuroimaging participants. Read more
Hunting for injured nerves: Discovering diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for painful nerve injury using targeted binding domain libraries from the shark immune system
Commercial partner: Elasmogen Limited. Chronic pain as a result of nerve damage or disease – known as neuropathic pain - affects as many as 7-10% of the population in the UK in their lifetime. Read more
Foundations of large-scale neuronal dynamics: creating links between computational and clinical neuroscience
Models in computational neuroscience remain highly scale-specific, with little or no cohesion between sub-disciplines dealing with different types of neuroimaging datasets. Read more
Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University
The Biomedical Sciences doctoral degree programme has been created through the merging Medical Biology, Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, and Molecular Medicine, which has been designed in the CEITEC MU research centre to be a robust singular study programme consisting of three disciplines (Cell and Tissue Morphology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Molecular Medicine).

Fully Funded PhD Positions at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca
The IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca is a public university school for higher education and research. Nestled in the picturesque region of Tuscany, the IMT School stands out as a premier post-graduate institution in Europe. Read more
Ultra-High Field (7T and 11.7T) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Development
I lead the Ultra-High Field MRI Physics group in Cambridge. We create new methods to studying the human brain and body using Cambridge’s state-of-the-art Siemens Terra 7T MRI scanner and we are preparing new studies for the UK National 11.7T MRI system now being built nearby in Nottingham. Read more
Novel Radiotracers and Radiochemical Methods for the Biomedical Technique of Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
With strong alignment to the clinical programmes within the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and other departments in the Clinical School, our programme… Read more
Inherited Eye Diseases and Mitochondrial Genetics
I am an academic neuro-ophthalmologist with a major research interest in mitochondrial genetics and inherited eye diseases. Read more
Genetic and molecular underpinnings of obesity - using veterinary models for insight into human disease
Why are some individuals prone to obesity and yet others stay lean in an obesogenic environment? Obesity is highly heritable as are related metabolic traits. Read more
(MRC DTP) Exploring the Impact of Ethnicity on Patient Pathways and Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis: Insights from UK Registry Data
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a range of physical and cognitive impairments. Read more
The mechanisms of control of the TMEM16A channel by the lysosomal NPC1 protein: a new role for the lysosome in the control of cell excitability
Commercial partner: Autifony Therapeutics. Ion channels are transmembrane proteins that form pores, allowing charged ions to cross the hydrophobic environment of the cell membrane. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Understanding the impact of childhood maltreatment on brain structure and connectivity in Conduct Disorder
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 21 studentships for entry in September 2025. Read more
Understanding developmental trajectories underlying the effects of early life stress on neurodevelopment and function
Early Life Stress (ELS) profoundly affects the brain and is a risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders, which often develop in later life. 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, 2024 for a start in fall 2025 (deadline October 31, 2024). 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.
