SUMMARY:Katz 3-year PhD studentships available
DESCRIPTION:Katz 3-year PhD studentships\nAbout the Projects\nWe are advertising two funded 3-year PhD studentships. These studentships will focus on addressing important research questions linked to understanding tic disorders such as Tourette syndrome. Targeted projects currently include the following: \n\nUse multimodal brain imaging or brain stimulation techniques to develop a mechanistic understanding of the role played by neural noise (trial-by-trial variability) in the generation of tics that can be used to inform the development of novel treatments.\nDevelop a Temporal Interference stimulation (TIS) approach to investigate the role(s) played by the anterior insula and mid (motor) cingulate brain areas in the experience of premonitory urge phenomena and the production of tics.\nUse translational neuroimaging and neurophysiology methods together in a rat model of Tourette syndrome to examine the remote effects of chronic striatal neural disinhibition which has been implicated in tic disorders.\nUsing AI/machine learning methods\, develop a smartphone App for automatically quantifying and classifying tics.\n\nThese studentships would suit somebody with an honours level undergraduate degree relevant to each individual project\, e.g.\, Experimental Psychology\, Physics/Mathematics\, Neuroscience\, Computer Science\, Electrical Engineering\, or a related subject. In addition\, an appropriate Masters degree and/or relevant previous experience with one or more of: brain imaging (e.g.\, MRI\, EEG\, MEG); brain stimulation (e.g.\, TMS\, tACS\, TIS); mathematical modelling; or\, AI/machine learning would be an advantage. \nThe PhDs would ideally start in February 2025 and are fully funded by a generous philanthropic donation made to the University of Nottingham. \nThe studentships are open to UK citizens and will include a stipend of £18\,622 for a period of three years\, subject to satisfactory progress. \nInformal enquiries can be addressed to:\nStephen Jackson \nHow to apply:\nAll applications are to be made directly to the University\, selecting PhD Psychology (36 months duration) as the course. Please apply at: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy/how-to-apply/apply-online.aspx. \nIn the research proposal section please only include “Stephen Jackson’s advertised Katz PhD positions” in the title. Please note\, the application will not be considered if you fail to do so. You are required to upload the following documents to your application: \n\nA CV\nA cover letter\nTwo references.
