Funded PhD opportunity in computational neuroscience (Manchester UK)

[Darya Frank]

Join our research team to explore how dopamine shapes the brain's ability to learn and adapt - from synapses to systems.

The Project:

• Map dopamine receptor distributions across brain networks
• Build computational models of neural responses to salient stimuli
• Validate predictions using fMRI, MRS, and EEG
• Bridge cellular mechanisms with human brain imaging

We're Looking For: Strong quantitative skills + background in neuroscience/psychology/physics/engineering + passion for understanding brain-behaviour relationships

Why This PhD? ✓ Interdisciplinary training (computational + experimental) ✓ Access to cutting-edge neuroimaging facilities ✓ Real-world impact and clinical applications

This unique position combines modelling with hands-on neuroimaging to tackle fundamental questions about learning and plasticity.
