Human and Environmental Physiology: Harnessing environmental stress for the benefit of cerebrovascular function

Fully funded 3-year PhD studentship (School funded)
School of Human and Behavioural Sciences, Bangor University
Closing date: 4th July 2022

Applications are invited for a three-year, full time PhD studentship within the School of Human and Behavioural Sciences. The studentship covers the full cost of tuition fees for the Postgraduate Researcher (PGR); a maintenance stipend (approx. £16,062 per annum for 3 years) and a research allowance of up to £750. The studentship can commence any time between October 2022 and January 2023, but with a preferred start date of October 1st.

Project: A large proportion of the general population does not meet physical activity and exercise recommendations that help to maintain good health. Like exercise, exposure to environmental stressors, including cold, heat, hypoxia, and sunlight, causes a cascade of physiological responses e.g., increased nervous system activity, heart rate and respiratory work, and blood vessel changes. Regular passive exposure to environmental stress may therefore be an alternative strategy to maintain good health in people unable or less motivated to complete exercise. The effects of regular intermittent exposure to environmental stressors on cerebrovascular function has received limited investigation. Strategies that better maintain cerebrovascular function (i.e., cerebral blood flow, cerebrovascular reactivity, cerebral autoregulation, neurovascular coupling, and cognitive function) throughout people’s lives are sorely needed and have the potential to greatly benefit individuals and society. The aim of this PhD is to examine how environmental stressors may be harnessed for the benefit of cerebrovascular function and health.

As a PGR you will join the Institute for Applied Human Physiology (https://www.bangor.ac.uk/iahp), and you will receive training in research and laboratory skills that include advanced ultrasound imaging techniques, classical physiology and biochemical techniques to monitor cerebrovascular, cardiorespiratory, metabolic, and thermoregulatory responses.

Supervision: Dr Sam Oliver and Dr Jonathan Moore. Please email informal enquiries to s.j.oliver@bangor.ac.uk

Requirements:

Essential:
• First or second-class Honours degree (or equivalent) in Physiology, Biomedical Sciences, Sport & Exercise Sciences, Neuroscience, or a related discipline.
• Experience of conducting relevant research projects.
• Excellent personal, oral, and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently with support from a supervisor.

Desirable:
• An M-level qualification in a relevant discipline.
• Experience of performing thermoregulatory, ultrasound, non-invasive blood pressure measurements and/or technical computing e.g., LabChart.

Residency requirements: This studentship is primarily aimed at UK students. However, students from outside of the UK should contact Dr Sam Oliver to discuss the conditions for the funding of international students.

How to apply: All application must be received through our online application system: https://apps.bangor.ac.uk/applicant/

Applications must contain:
• A covering letter: Include your motivation for applying for this studentship, aspirations beyond conducting a PhD, and how your qualifications, experience and research interests make you a suitable candidate for this studentship. Where appropriate, this should also include proof of English Language Competency (7.0 IELTS minimum).
• References: All applications require two academic references to be submitted in support. Candidates must approach referees themselves and include the references with their application.
• A 500-word research proposal aligned to this advertised PhD studentship that includes a background, hypothesis, and the approach to collecting and analysing data.

The closing date for formal applications is 4th July and short-listed applicants will be required to attend an interview.

The studentship can commence any time between October 2022 and January 2023, but with a preferred start date of October 1st.

Project:The project will be supervised by Dr. Richard Binney. It will be broadly aimed at elucidating human semantic cognition, which is a set of processes that bring meaning to our verbal and non-verbal experiences and allow us to use this knowledge to drive context-appropriate behaviour.  It will involve the acquisition and the analysis of behavioural (e.g., task performance), self-report (e.g., stimulus ratings), and/or neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG) data. The precise research topic is yet to be determined and will reflect the interests and specific qualifications of the candidate. However, the supervisor is particularly interested to read proposals that concern (i) the organisation and neural correlates of social knowledge, (ii) abstract conceptual knowledge, and/or (iii) the relationship between semantic and social cognition. Applicants are invited to read Dr. Binney’s most recent publications on these topics, in order to establish common interests.

Person specification:

Essential requirements:

• A strong undergraduate degree (at least 2:1 or equivalent) in cognitive (neuro-) science, psychology, computer science, or cognate disciplines.

Desirable qualities:

• A masters-level degree in a relevant subject area. Studying for this degree can be in-progress at the time of application.
• Research experience in experimental psychology, psycholinguistics and/or a cognate subject
• Experience with neuroimaging methods
• Coding skills (in languages such as Python, MATLAB, or R)

Residency requirements:This studentship covers in full the tuition fees for British citizens and other nationals who do not require a visa (e.g., Europeans with settled status). International candidates are very welcome to apply; however, they need to contact Dr Binney to discuss the issue of fees.

Further information:Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Binney, email: r.binney@bangor.ac.uk.

How to apply:All applications must be received by 4 July 2022 through our online application system: https://apps.bangor.ac.uk/applicant/

Applications must contain the following documents:

• Curriculum Vitae. This should be no longer than two pages.
• Cover letter. Include your motivation for applying for this studentship, aspirations beyond conducting a PhD, how you fit the essential and desirable criteria, and any reasons that you feel you are particularly suited to undertaking this project.
• Reference letters. Include two letters from academic staff to be submitted in support for this specific application. Candidates for this position must approach referees themselves and include the letters with their application.
• Research Proposal: 2 pages (the reference list is excluded from the page count) briefly describing one or two experiments to be conducted during the PhD, including a clear description of the research questions, hypotheses, and the approach to collecting and analysing data.

Graduate Assistantships

All postgraduate taught applicants (Home/EU/International, full-time and part-time) are eligible to APPLY to become a Graduate Assistant (GA).  Graduate Assistants are paid to work with academic staff in a range of teaching, learning and assessment activities to support undergraduate student learning for up to 60 hours each academic year.  

Why should you apply to be an Assistant?

SHES postgraduate programmes equip students with the latest knowledge in their selected field, plus a wide range of transferable skills, and an autonomous approach to learning that keeps them at the cutting edge of their chosen career. Assistantships are an innovative feature that allows students to put some of their learning into practice by supporting School activities, to help develop their personal applied support skills and to enhance their CVs with direct experience to support their future employability.

Graduate Assistants from the School have gone on to work as lecturers and research assistants in FE/HE, teachers, physiotherapists and exercise rehabilitation specialists, outdoor instructors/guides and paramedics.

“ A Graduate Assistantship provides the opportunity to place your own input and ideas into modules while gaining valuable experience in teaching, marking and helping out in the [physiology] labs. Most importantly an Assistant gains vital skills for a future career in sport and exercise science.”​

Ben Price, MSc Applied Sport Science, Graduate Assistant

What is expected of an Assistant?

Activities that GAs are involved with will include supporting lectures, leading seminars, providing tutorial support, demonstrating in practical classes, marking undergraduate student assessment, invigilating at undergraduate resit exams. 

GAs are expected to be prepared for each session by acquainting themselves with the core reading and ensuring that they have the ability to contextualise the material within the broader context of the module as a whole and the lecture associated with the seminar in particular. To this end attending the lectures can be enormously helpful, though this is unpaid and not compulsory.

Application process - Applicants should submit to a Curriculum Vitae, covering letter and a reference (ideally from a recent employer but an academic reference is acceptable), indicating their suitability for an Assistantship, to Dr Ant Blanchfield a.w.blanchfield@bangor.ac.uk by the closing date of the end of Welcome Week each year.

Selection is competitive and may involve an interview which will be in the first few weeks of semester 1. Please contact Dr Blanchfield for more information.
