This research area is centred on the Neuroscience Research Cluster, a multidisciplinary grouping of approximately 20 faculty, research technicians and postgraduate research students based primarily in the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences. The cluster contains a wide range of neuroscience research expertise, encompassing everything from fundamental cellular and molecular approaches used in the study of neural functioning through to behavioural analyses of complex cognition, mental health and wellbeing.

Our research focuses on the fundamentals of neurobiology and how they underpin cognition and behaviour and how they are impacted in the context of various disease conditions.

Key themes of our research include:

Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent). If you are not a UK citizen, you may need to prove your knowledge of English.
