PhD education in Medical science - Environmental enrichment following stroke

Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, 4 years if full-time studies
Extent: 100 %
Location: Sahlgrenska Academy, Göteborg
First day of employment: As agreed
Reference number: UR 2012/637

Project title
The impact of high-intensity, task specifik training combined with environmental enrichment in the late phase of stroke; a randomized controlled trial

Job assignments
It is described in several animal studies how recovery after brain injury has greater potential in an enriched environment. Although there is repeated research showing that functional improvement can occur many years after a stroke, most rehabilitation measures are mainly applied during the acute and subacute phase. The hypothesis of the study is that a rehabilitation program composed of high intensity, task-specific and goal-directed training in an enriched environment can improve the functional ability and activity level for individuals in a late phase after stroke. Additional aims are to assess the experience and meaning of participating in the rehabilitation program, and whether and how this will be perceived to have influenced the participants' daily life and occupational performance in general.

The project will also consist of analysis of individuals' gait- and movement-patterns evaluated with advanced gait analyses in a motor-laboratory, why knowledge and interest in this type of research is relevant.

Responsibilities will also include project management where coordination and planning of the various activities in the study will be of great importance.

Studies and experience of rehabilitation in the late stage after stroke is important to be able to coordinate and plan the project. Knowledge in neuroscience, neuroplasticity, enriched environment, movement analysis, leadership, qualitative and quantitative methods and RCTs will also be important.

PhD positions are financed mainly through education grants during the first two years and employment as doctoral students during the last two years and pertains to a doctoral degree.

Eligibility
The general entry requirement is fulfilled if you have either 1, a second cycle degree (usually described as a masters degree) or 2, completed courses at an academic level corresponding to at least 240 credits. At least 60 of these credits (corresponding to 1 year of full-time studies) must be at second cycle level. You also need to fulfill the specific entry requirement which is an English proficiency requirement equal to the Swedish course Engelska B.

Assessment
After the application deadline has passed, an initial assessment of the candidates eligibility is made at the faculty office and sent to the project supervisor for selection. The process can then take up to 6 months before a candidate is selected.
