PhD in Psychology - Schizophrenia

City, University of London - School of Arts and Social Sciences - Department of Psychology

We are searching for a PhD candidate to work on a project entitled “The neurodevelopmental model of early-onset schizophrenia: a longitudinal MRI and fMRI study” in University of London.

Early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) represents a more severe and rare variant of adult-onset schizophrenia, with onset before 18 years old. In recent year, the ‘neurodevelopmental’ model has been gaining support and posits that the illness is the end stage of abnormal neurodevelopmental processes that began years before. Identifying potentially predictive factors related to a more favourable outcome can positively impact on long-term outcome, especially in young patients. In order to test this we will be utilizing longitudinal (5 year interval) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) already acquired from adolescents who were diagnosed with EOS.
