Vacant PhD Scholarships – FRESCO@CNAP, co-funded by Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (Horizon 2020)
CNAP is a basic research Centre of Excellence established by the Danish National Research Foundation at SMI® - Department of Health Science and Technology, Faculty of Medicine, Aalborg University, Denmark.
The programme FRESCO@CNAP, which is co-funded by Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (Horizon 2020), aims to install early stage researchers (PhD fellows) in CNAP, conducting frontline research on novel tools for identifying and modulating human pain mechanisms. Several PhD Scholarships including a competitive salary, all university fees, health insurance, experimental running costs, and well-equipped office and laboratory facilities are available from February 2019. The successful applicants should investigate neuroplasticity and pain aiming on models for provocation, probing and modulation of such.
The candidate for a CNAP PhD Scholarship holds a master degree in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, psychology, pharmacology, medicine or equivalent with the prospect of pursuing studies on the human pain neuroplasticity utilizing biomedical technologies (e.g. quantitative assessment) and human pain and itch biomarkers. Translational animal studies, human experimental and clinical studies are within the scope of CNAP aiming at improving the understanding of human pain neuroplasticity. Insight into fundamental pain mechanisms and their clinical impact is an advantage, but not a requirement. A high proficiency in oral and written English is required. Good dissemination skills are important.
