The first is based at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) and is focused on studying cycles in graphs representing brain structure (connectomes). The aim is to use theoretical graph theory to study the structure and function of large connectomes and link the analyses back to neuroscience. The project is supervised by Jason Smith, is based in the Mathematics department, and is fully funded. The full advert, and the application portal, is available here: https://www.ntu.ac.uk/study-and-courses/postgraduate/phd/phd-opportunities/studentships/school-of-science-and-technology-studentships/cycles-in-brain-networks.
The second is part of the Nottingham Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Doctoral Training Programme (a joint program between University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University). This project studies pathways in connectomes. Using data at different scales, from neuron-neuron to region-region scales, the project would investigate the paths (in the graph theory sense) that connect together different parts of the brain, and how changes to the graph structure of these pathways (for example caused by neurodegenerative diseases) affect the function of the brain. The project is supervised by Jason Smith (NTU) and Marcus Kaiser (UoN), and is fully funded. The full advert is available on page 9 of https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/bbdtp/documents/standard-dtp-project-call-list-2024/bioscience-for-health-projects.pdf. The doctoral training program requires application to the program, and selecting this project once accepted, more details of the scheme can be found here: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/bbdtp/index.aspx
