You will be focusing on motor control in individuals with functional neurological disorders. Collaborating closely with your supervisors, you will be responsible for designing the study protocol. This entails recruiting participants, conducting measurements, analyzing data, and drafting scientific papers. Additionally, you will be tasked with communicating and disseminating research findings to various audiences and sectors, including research, clinical practice, and industry. Your work will involve publishing research results in esteemed international journals and presenting them at recognized international conferences. Furthermore, you will engage in collaboration with an international consortium as part of the externally funded MSCA doctoral network TReND. Participation in the network's comprehensive training program is also expected, which includes attendance at both in-person events, such as summer schools, and online events like lecture series and colloquia. Ultimately, this position encompasses working towards a doctorate.
