Positions at (or in relation to) UFBI

PhD student position in a research project investigating the effect of physical activity on brain function and aging at the Department of Radiation Sciences.

Swedish version below.

We are looking for a PhD student with a background in cognitive science, exercise science, or medicine, with an interest of how physical activity can promote cognitive ageing.

Description of the PhD project
The present PhD project aims at investigating the effects of physical activity on brain function (using PET imaging targeting the dopamine system), cognition and aging. The applicant will work in the context of Umeå Center for Functional Brain Imaging (UFBI: www.umeabrainimaging.com) as well as ALC (Ageing and Living Conditions Programme). The student will be supervised by Associate Professor Carl-Johan Olsson and Professor Katrine Åhlström Riklund.
