PhD: Brain Network Modeling for Pediatric Stimulation

University of Exeter; Exeter; On-site; GBP 20,000 - 24,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Exeter invites applications for a PhD studentship exploring mathematical models of brain networks to predict the effect of neurostimulation in paediatric epilepsy.

You will develop methods to construct models from patient recordings, implement simulations of stimulation, and compare predictions with clinical data. Training is provided and supervision from clinicians and mathematicians; informal enquiries are encouraged.

Qualifications

• Background in mathematics/physics/engineering/computer science or quantitative neuroscience.
• Training will be provided; prior neuroscience or clinical research experience is not required.
• Informal enquiries are warmly encouraged.

Responsibilities

• Develop methods for constructing models from patient recordings.
• Implement and simulate stimulation within the models.
