We are excited to announce that the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit has four fully-funded MRC studentships available from October 2020 to support Ph.D. (D.Phil.) projects as part of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences.

The four D.Phil. projects on offer are:

Project 1. Neural dynamics of drug-paired memory in the mouse brain.  (Supervisor: Dr David Dupret)

Project 2. Studying circuit dynamics to understand disease mechanisms and their therapy.  (Supervisor: Dr Huiling Tan)

Project 3. Cell and circuit function in the basal ganglia in health and disease.  (Supervisor: Professor Peter Magill)

Project 4: Closed-loop modulation of neuronal plasticity.  (Supervisors: Dr Andrew Sharott and Dr Hayriye Cagnan)

The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday UK time on Wednesday 22nd April 2020.

Candidates can apply for more than one D.Phil. project. Candidates are encouraged to contact project supervisors in advance of applying. See weblinks above for more details on projects and how to apply.
