The candidate will be expected to spend about equal time at each institution and, upon successful completion of their studies, they will receive a dual award issued by University of Bristol and University of Kent. This project utilises both fly and mouse models mutant to investigate genes associated with bipolar disorder and to characterise circadian rhythms under different light conditions. In parallel the role will involve measuring the effect on sleep, including measuring sleep stages and sleep deprivation, using standard biochemical and behavioural assays.

Hume PhD Scholarship
Maynooth University
The SleepTimeData PhD project will use novel radar-based technology for the long-term sleep monitoring of individuals with a neuropsychiatric or neurodevelopmental conditions. The project will use a combination of analytical approaches, including quantitative analysis of sleep data, psychometrics and qualitative assessment of participants’ experiences. This comprehensive approach aims to drive innovative advances in sleep data analytics to advance our understanding of mental health challenges.
