The lab aims to improve our understanding of human neural control of movement and leverage this information to improve motor function, mobility and the quality of life of individuals with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
Students will work in an innovative research program that combines advanced functional and structural brain MRI techniques (task-based and resting state fMRI, arterial spin labelling, diffusion MRI, SWI), behavioral protocols and genetics to understand how the brain and behavior change in people with Parkinson’s disease and those at risk of developing the disease. The lab has access to UD’s Center for Biomedical and Brain Imaging which houses a 3T Siemens Magnetom Prisma whole-body MRI scanner and a 9.4 Bruker Biospec 94/20, designed for pre-clinical MR imaging and MRI research. The lab is also integrated with several other research laboratories studying the neural control of movement in healthy and Parkinson’s disease, which provides a rich scientific and collaborative community. PhD positions are funded through a combination of teaching and research assistantships. Requirements: Have a background in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, kinesiology, psychology, or biomedical sciences. Previous MRI experience is desirable. Have some experience with signal processing, bash, MATLAB or similar programming languages. Be team-minded, flexible with the required tact and sensitivity for working with patients with neurological disorders. Potential applicants should contact Dr. Roxana Burciu at rgbur...@udel.edu <mailto:rgbur...@udel.edu> with a brief email expressing their research interests, and a current CV. -- Roxana G.
