Funded PhD position in sensorimotor neuroscience at Indiana University Bloomington
What’s it like to do your PhD in the Sensorimotor Neurophysiology Lab with Dr. Hannah Block at Indiana University Bloomington?
Requirements and details:
Our PhD students often choose to do a dual Kinesiology/Neuroscience program. This does not usually add time to obtain the degree, but does provide extra options for funding.
More info here: https://blocklab.net/openings.html
To receive full consideration, apply by December 1. Before applying, prospective students should e-mail hjblock@indiana.edu with a CV or resume and unofficial transcript.
- Gain deep knowledge in human sensorimotor neuroscience. This may include upper limb motor learning, proprioception, multisensory integration, and their neural substrates.
- Opportunities to learn cutting edge techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and advanced technologies for human behavior research (robotic manipulandum, gaze tracking, touchscreens).
- Work on the lab's existing NIH and NSF-funded projects and co-author related manuscripts, and also develop your own ideas.
- Access to neuroscience faculty throughout the campus who specialize in kinesiology, psychology, cognitive science, vision science, speech and hearing science, computer science, and medical science.
- Opportunities to take or audit a wide variety of courses to build your skills and knowledge.
- The chance to gain experience in teaching, mentoring, and science outreach, if desired.
- We are a small research group, so you get lots of opportunity to interact with and learn from the lab director.
Requirements and details:
- Masters degree is not required, provided you have a strong academic record in a 4-year undergraduate degree (neuroscience, psychology, kinesiology, or related area) and some kind of lab-based research experience.
- If accepted into the PhD program, you will automatically be fully funded by research/teaching assistantships. This funding covers your tuition, health insurance, and stipend for living expenses.
- The lab pays for PhD students to attend and present their research at one professional conference per year.
