We undertake leading-edge research into new treatments for movement disorders. Physical movement is based within two departments in the Faculty and Health and Education: Psychology and Health Professions. We work closely with the charity sector, and we are committed to the involvement of people with movement disorders in our research from the earliest stages. You would be supported to develop skills in Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement, and to develop your own networks to support your career progression.
Based within our multidisciplinary neuroscience and movement research teams, you will be carrying out research on surgical interventions for movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. You will have the opportunity to work closely with our clinical teams at Walton Centre on a novel surgical approach called MRI-guided focused ultrasound and contribute to our Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Council-funded work with both Salford Royal and Walton Centre. You will be a driver of research which will be translated into new interventions that improve mobility, complementing and enhancing the current research programme.
