PhD Scholarship in MRI Brain Research
In conjunction with the University of Canterbury, the Van der Veer Institute is offering a PhD scholarship for a brain research project, starting in 2009, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.
The successful student will be based at the Van der Veer Institute and will conduct research using the Hagley Radiology 3T MRI scanner in the same building. See here for information on our current MR research capabilities and projects.
The award of the scholarship will take into account both the attributes of the student and the potential projects in which they may be involved. Applicants should examine current research projects at the Institute and identify areas in which they would like to be involved. Students will be considered from a variety of backgrounds and do not need to have experience in MRI research, although that may be an advantage. Current students in MRI projects have backgrounds in psychology, medicine, physics, and engineering. However, the first award of this scholarship is likely to favour a project with a focus on the physics and techniques of MRI rather than other areas.
