Applications are invited from both Home students and International students to join a multidisciplinary team of researchers studying the state-dependent control of brain oscillations for enhancing memory. This studentship is available from the start of academic year 2026/27, is for 4 years, and will be co-supervised by Professor Andrew Sharott, Professor David Dupret and Professor Hayriye Cagnan at the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics.

Applications are invited from both Home students and International students to join a multidisciplinary team of researchers studying how phase-locked Deep Brain Stimulation can be used to modulate pathological brain rhythms during wakefulness and sleep in Parkinson’s disease. This studentship is available from the start of academic year 2026/27, is for 4 years, and will be co-supervised by Professor Huiling Tan, Dr Shenghong He, and Professor Tim Denison at the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics.

Applications are invited from both Home students and International students to join a multidisciplinary team of researchers studying the brain network electrophysiology of memory processes. This studentship is available from the start of academic year 2026/27, is for 4 years, and will be co-supervised by Professor David Dupret and Professor Tim Denison at the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics.

Applications are invited from both Home students and International students to join a multidisciplinary team of researchers studying neurophysiological biomarkers to improve adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s. This studentship is available from the start of academic year 2026/27, is for 4 years, and will be co-supervised by Dr Ashwini Oswal, Professor Huiling Tan, Professor Hayriye Cagnan and Professor Andrew Sharott at the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics. The studentship project will also benefit from the expertise of Professor Alex Green at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences.

Applications are invited from both Home students and International students to join a multidisciplinary team of researchers studying how cells and circuits in the brain work together to perform computations that support memory, and how perturbations to these computations may explain core symptoms reported in people with neuropsychiatric conditions. This studentship is available from the start of academic year 2026/27, is for 4 years, and will be co-supervised by Associate Professor Helen Barron, Professor Charlotte Stagg and Dr Ashwini Oswal at the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics.
