Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom British Neuroscience Association Full time
Seeking a Talented PhD Researcher

We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled researcher to work on a project investigating the role of the insula in regulating tic-like movements and other behaviors related to Tourette's syndrome.

About the Role

This project aims to combine advanced neuroscientific techniques to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying motor control and develop innovative treatments for Tourette's syndrome.

Key Responsibilities
  • Investigate the relationship between insula activity and tic-like movements in rats
  • Design and implement novel non-invasive neuromodulation strategies for treating Tourette's syndrome
Methodology and Collaboration

The student will employ intracerebral drug microinfusions to modulate insula function in rats. Behavioral, electrophysiological, and imaging measurements will be used to assess the effects of these manipulations on tic-like movements and other relevant behaviors.

Supervisory Team

The project will be supervised by experienced researchers at the University of Nottingham and industry experts from Neupulse.

Programme Details

The PhD programme typically lasts for 4 years and comes with a UKRI PhD stipend (£19,237 in 24/25).

Please note that salary details are subject to change based on the university guidelines and location.
