Dear SPM Users, The Motor Neuroscience and Neuroimaging Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware (UD), led by Dr. Roxana Burciu, is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic student interested in pursuing a doctoral degree. The lab’s mission is to advance knowledge of human neural control of movement and leverage this information to improve motor function, mobility and the quality of life of people with neurological impairment. The student will work in an innovative research program that combines advanced functional and structural brain MRI techniques and behavioral protocols to understand how the brain and behavior change in people with Parkinson’s 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 laboratories studying the neural control of movement in healthy and disease, which provides a rich scientific and collaborative community. We welcome students who: - Have a background in neuroscience, kinesiology, psychology, biomedical engineering, or biomedical sciences. - Have experience with signal processing, MATLAB or similar programming languages. - Are team-minded, flexible with the required tact and sensitivity for working with patients. Prospective students should contact Dr. Roxana Burciu ([log in to unmask]) with a brief email expressing their research interests, and a current CV/resume. *Roxana G.
