RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP

Applications are invited for an inter-school PhD studentship at Cardiff University, based in the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Group, School of Psychology, and the Wolfson Centre for Magnetics, School of Engineering. This is a unique opportunity for an enthusiastic and dedicated student to play a pivotal role in the Integrated Brain Imaging and Stimulation Project (IBIS), a collaborative grant funded by the Welsh Assembly Government between the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC), the Wolfson Centre for Magnetics, and The Magstim Company.

In particular, the PhD project will focus on the design and implementation of deep-brain stimulation methods for TMS, and on the development and application of simultaneous TMS and magnetic resonance imaging at CUBRIC.

The 3-year studentship is £13,290 per annum plus tuition fees and will commence on April 1st, 2010. The student will be jointly supervised by Dr Chris Chambers (School of Psychology) and Professor David Jiles (School of Engineering).

Prospective applicants are advised that a second PhD position on this project is also available, via the Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship (KESS) programme. Concurrent applications for the current studentship and this additional position are welcomed. For informal enquires, please contact Dr Chris Chambers (chambersc1-at-cardiff.ac.uk).

The School of Psychology is one of the largest and most successful in the UK (http://www.cf.ac.uk/psych/). It has its own brain-imaging centre (http://www.cf.ac.uk/psych/cubric/), enhancing the international-leading research in behavioural neuroscience, cognitive ergonomics, forensic, social and developmental psychology.

Cardiff is the youngest capital city in Europe and fastest growing in the UK (http://www.bbc.co.uk/capitalofculture/cardiff/facts.shtml). It plays host to many national and international sporting events at the Millennium Stadium (http://www.millenniumstadium.com/). Culturally, the city is thriving, with the Millennium Centre (http://www.wmc.org.uk/) recently opened in the newly-developed Cardiff Bay. Cardiff is in very close proximity to the beautiful Welsh countryside (http://www.breconbeacons.org/), has a two hour rail link to London and a (cheap) one hour air link to Paris and Amsterdam (http://www.cardiffairportonline.com/)
