PhD Project Experimental Neuropsychology/Neuroscience

Published: 21 October 2009

The Experimental Neuropsychology Research Unit, School of Psychology, Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine, under the Directorship of Associate Professor Nellie Georgiou-Karistianis, is seeking a PhD student to conduct a project on characterizing cognitive and motor signatures in different sub-types of Parkinson's disease. This is important for drug development so we can target drugs for specific symptomatology's rather than trying to treat the disease as a whole. The project will involve liaising with neurologists, testing of individuals with and without Parkinson's disease, operating experimental computerized tasks, statistical analyses and thesis preparation in the form of publications. The group is seeking a dynamic, enthusiastic, and organised individual who can work well in a team and can lead this new initiative in 2010.

Date: Thursday 15 October to Friday 18 December, 2009
Venue: Clayton
RSVP: 18 December 2009
