An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate to join an EU-funded, project NoTremor which aims to provide patient specific, multi-scale computational models of the coupled brain and neuromuscular systems that will be subsequently used to improve the quality of analysis, prediction and progression of Parkinson's disease. In particular, it aspires to establish the neglected link between brain modelling and neuromuscular systems that will result in a holistic representation of the physiology for PD patients. We are offering an opportunity to play a key role in this EU-funded, multi-centre, multidisciplinary project.
The remit of this post is twofold: (i) To help develop the software infrastructure supporting the modeling which will make use of new middleware and model description frameworks developed at Sheffield. (ii) To develop high level computational models of brain nuclei dealing with motor control using concepts and techniques from control theory.
