Primary supervisor - Prof. Michael Hornberger
We have an exciting PhD studentship to work on neuroimaging data for spatial navigation changes in older people, preclinical and clinical dementia. The project builds upon our extensive prior work and will investigate how the neural correlates of these changes relate to clinical, genetic and everyday life of participants. The project will include analysing existing MRI neuroimaging data, with the option to collect also data prospectively and relate it to other data modalities, eg cognition, clinical, sensors. This is, therefore, a highly interdisciplinary project, which allows a student to develop their own area of research in a new and exciting field. The outcomes of the project will have a significant scientific impact and also inform future ageing and dementia policy.
We are looking for a highly motivated student to join our thriving dementia research community. You should have a passion for working interdisciplinary and engaging with older people and people with dementia, and MRI neuroimaging experience. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the project, we are happy to accept applications from people from backgrounds in neuroscience, psychology, data science, computing science, or other relevant disciplines. Training for many of the techniques will be provided during the PhD as well. The PhD project will be supervised by Prof. Michael Hornberger (dementia neuroscientist, University of East Anglia). Please contact the supervisor at m.hornberger@uea.ac.uk for further information on the project.
