PhD Candidate: Motor Disorder Rehabilitation

1 maand geleden


Nijmegen, Nederland Radboud University Voltijd

We offer a position for a PhD candidate/EU MSCA Fellow for the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network ’Translational Research Network in Motor Disorder Rehabilitation: Advancing understanding of variability in motor control and learning, to enhance clinical practice (TReND)’ commencing on 1 September 2024. We are offering a fixed-term full-time position for 4 years until 31 August 2027. More Information about the project can be found here(link is external). For this position, we will focus on the mechanisms underlying functional neurological movements disorders. Functional neurological movement disorders are common and disabling, and thought to result from dysfunction in the sensorimotor control circuitry comparing feedforward and feedback models. It is hypothesised that feedforward signals in planning and preparation of movement are overweighed under the influence of previous expectation, attention and emotion. Feedback signals are subsequently insufficiently used to update the feedforward model using a prediction error, resulting in neurological symptoms and signs. Here, we aim to assess this hypothesis by applying ambulatory EEG in various tasks, including walking.

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.
