Phd Scholarship: Neuroimaging Research In Me/Cfs And Long Covid

Job DescriptionWe are currently looking for a PhD candidate to develop neuroimaging methods to understand the pathophysiology of ME/CFS and long COVID in addition to characterisation of pharmacotherapeutic actions of repurposed pharmacotherapeutics during clinical trials. This project focuses on mapping tissue microstructural changes using Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) data in Healthy Control, ME/CFS and long COVID cohorts acquired from 7 Tesla MRI. These high spatial resolution data from a 7 Tesla research MRI are of exceptional quality and have the potential to provide unique insights into iron/myelin related pathophysiology in ME/CFS and long COVID. The successful candidate will work with national and international research groups and will have the opportunity to attend national and international conferences.
