Several PhD stipends at the Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain

CNAP is a basic research Center of Excellence supported by the Danish National Research Foundation at Aalborg University.

CNAP offers several PhD scholarships for exploring neuroplasticity and pain, with the aim of developing models for pain provocation, probing and modulation. You will be involved in our frontline fundamental research to identify novel mechanisms involved in the dynamics of pain neuroplasticity, and our efforts to advance the understandings of this topic within the academic world and beyond. Specifically, your tasks will be to:
Conduct research under the supervision of senior CNAP staff members. Relevant projects focus on:
1. Cortical pain neuroplasticity, homeostatic plasticity and manifestations of such;
2. Cortical neuroplasticity and reward mechanisms;
3. And/or epigenetic fingerprints in models of pain neuroplasticity in experimental and clinical models
Write up research results in the form of journal articles and book chapters
Contribute to national and international research conferences, and be exposed to external research environments as e.g. a visiting researcher
Disseminate the results of your research to the general public
Follow Ph.D. training courses
