Up to three, 3-year PhD studentships in neuroscience. These studentships will be supported by the Newcastle Neuroscience Fund, made possible by the generosity of an anonymous benefactor.

We are offering up to two, 4-year PhD studentships in translational systems neuroscience. These studentships are offered through the generous support of the Reece Foundation and align with the Foundation’s goals to provide further training in disciplines related to engineering.
The studentships in both schemes will be awarded in open competition and are available for projects in diverse areas of neuroscience using cutting-edge approaches. They will be supervised by established research leaders and up-and-coming researchers from across the University.
