2. PhD Studentship: Evidence-based classification for athletes with vision impairment

Loughborough University | School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences 

Application Deadline：Friday, July 17, 2020

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

This Studentship offers an exciting opportunity to develop an evidence-based classification for athletes with vision impairment (VI) in Paralympic competition. The successful candidate will be supported by the joint expertise of existing staff, internally Dr Donghyun Ryu, Dr Robin Jackson, and externally Dr David Mann (IPC Classification Research and Development Centre). This project will be also supported by the Para Sport and Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport (PHC) at Loughborough University and will significantly contribute to the vision to become a Centre of Excellence in classification in collaboration with the IPC. The real-world impact of the project is very significant, with the outputs expected to change the qualification criteria for goalball (and potentially other sports) in future Paralympic games.
Loughborough University is a top-ten rated university in England for research intensity (REF2014). In choosing Loughborough for your research, you’ll work alongside academics who are leaders in their field. You will benefit from comprehensive support and guidance from our Doctoral College, including tailored careers advice, to help you succeed in your research and future career.
The School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences has been ranked 1st in the world for Sport-related Subjects (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020).

Full Project Detail

This doctoral programme aims to address classification in sports without an able-bodied equivalent by developing an evidence-based system of classification for athletes with vision impairment (VI) in the sport of goalball. To do so, this project will: (1) consult experts to adopt a theoretical and philosophical standpoint on how to address classification when a sport has no able-bodied equivalent; (2) develop sport-specific tests (e.g., visual blur, gaze-contingent manipulations) to measure the impact of different levels of VI on goalball performance; and (3) establish the minimum impairment criteria and appropriate number of classes in goalball. We expect the outcomes to form the basis of a new system of classification to be adopted in goalball for future Paralympic Games.

Entry requirements

Applicants should have, or expect to achieve, at least a 2:1 Honours degree (or equivalent) in sport and exercise psychology, experimental psychology, vision science or a related subject. A relevant Master’s degree and/or experience in one or more of the following will be an advantage: sport and exercise psychology, experimental psychology, vision science.

3. Early Stage Researcher/Ph.D. position in “Neuroepidemiology”

Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich | Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research

Supervisor: Prof M Dichgans , Dr Rainer Malik

Application Deadline：Applications accepted all year round

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Project Description

The Translational Stroke and Dementia Research Group (Prof. M. Dichgans) at the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research at LMU, Munich, Germany invites applications for an Early Stage Researcher/Ph.D. position.
The successful candidate will work on the epidemiology of stroke outcomes, with a focus on cognitive impairment and dementia. The project is funded by the DFG-funded Excellence Cluster Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy). Successful applicants will be part of an international team of investigators and will participate in the study design, data collection, data processing, and project development of large cohort studies of patients with stroke.

Job description

You will work on a research project with the following objectives:
• Identify predictors of post-stroke dementia (PSD) and mild cognitive impairment (PS-MCI). Your project will utilize available data from the Determinants of Dementia After Stroke (DEMDAS) study.
(https://www.dzne.de/en/research/studies/studien/demdas/), a multicenter study of 600 stroke cases with completed recruitment and ongoing follow-up assessments that is led by the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research. All patients have undergone deep phenotyping with serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blood sampling, clinical assessment, and detailed neuropsychological testing with QCs and quantitative image analysis already performed.
• Utilize data from DEMDAS along with other previously untapped cohorts of more than 1000 deeply phenotyped stroke patients recruited in Munich with mid- to long-term follow-up to identify clinical and biomarker predictors of the whole spectrum of stroke outcomes including disability, cognitive impairment, stroke recurrence, and mortality.
• In collaboration with other members of the group, utilize available genetic and other omics data from these cohorts to identify genetic factors and biomarkers predictive of stroke outcome (disability, cognition, stroke recurrence, and mortality). All subjects have been genotyped using genome-wide genotyping arrays with metabolomics / proteomics underway.
• Develop risk scores for the prediction of stroke outcomes for clinical use derived from the above cohorts and validate these scores in external cohorts.

You will be working in a multidisciplinary team with extensive expertise in stroke, epidemiology, imaging, genetics, and biomarker discovery, have full access to all facilities available at the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research, engage in national and international collaborations and take part in the international training programme of the Center for Stroke and Dementia Research and SyNergy. In addition, there is the possibility to apply for enrollment in the Graduate School for Systemic Neuroscience (GSN), to which our Institute is affiliated.
