PhD opportunities at Glasgow

The Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) at the University of Glasgow aims to deliver high quality, collaborative research and training for PhD students within the Biosciences. The programme includes the following imaging-related research projects offered for 2021 entry:

Identifying the mechanisms controlling the fate of skill memories (Supervisors: Prof Edwin M. Robertson and Prof Gregor Thut)

Ultra-high field subcortical imaging of human decision making and learning (Supervisors: Dr Marios Philiastides and Prof Philippe Schyns)

Advanced MRI of neurovascular disease using parallel-transmit technology at 7 tesla (Supervisors: Dr Shajan Gunamony, Prof David Porter and Prof Keith Muir)

Brain plasticity in later life: Enhancing brain connectivity with fMRI Neurofeedback to improve ageing-related motor deficits (Supervisors: Dr Cassandra Sampaio Baptista and Dr Jozien Goense)

Development of a novel MRI based metabolic imaging method (Supervisors: Dr William Holmes and Dr Rosario Lopez Gonzalez)

Investigation of plasticity of cortical networks after nerve injury using laminar fMRI (Supervisors: Dr Jozien Goense, Dr John Riddell and Prof Andrew Hart)

Mechanisms of inter-areal communication supporting signal transmission and cognition in the human brain (Supervisors: Prof Gregor Thut and Prof Satu Palva)

Stable perception of external stimuli over time: oculo-motor and visual processing mechanisms (Supervisors: Dr Alessio Fracasso and Prof Lars Muckli)

Using EEG Brain-Computer Interaction to Improve Performance (Supervisors: Dr Martin Lages and Dr Marios Philiastides)

Utilising MRI-derived tissue characteristics to segment high-resolution functional brain activity in neuroscientific experiments (Supervisors: Prof Lars Muckli and Dr Alessio Fracasso)
