Layer-specific structure and function using ultra-high field functional and structural MR imaging and advanced data analysis, UQ

Applications close: 23 August 2021

This project is a collaboration between the universities of Nottingham and Queensland. Nottingham, home of the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre and birthplace of MRI, and Queensland’s Centre for Advanced Imaging, are world leaders in precision medical imaging. The supervisory teams will include academics from Nottingham and Queensland, which share a vision of training world-leading researchers. Both institutions are Universitas 21 members, an international consortium of leading, research-intensive universities dedicated to strong collaborative engagement.

This project will build on recent advances in high-resolution fMRI studies at ultra-high field (7T) in humans to push the boundaries of MR imaging techniques to study cortical layers at the Centre for Advanced Imaging at The University of Queensland and the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre at University of Nottingham.

A working knowledge of medical imaging, specifically MRI, with MR sequence development skills, programming skills, image/signal processing or computational modelling would be of benefit to someone working on this project.
