Offer Description

Gait and balance deficits caused by vestibular disorders reduce the quality of life of millions of individuals. These disorders are poorly understood, difficult to diagnose and manage, and receive little attention despite their enormous personal and economic costs. To address the global burden imposed by vestibular disorders, the PROVIDE doctoral network will train 10 PhD students (doctoral candidates). These PhD students will conduct individual research projects to address key research challenges and develop new knowledge, tools, and approaches to advance care for individuals with vestibular disorders. PhD students will work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary and international consortium of experts in vestibular research, patient care, and medical device development. PhD students will gain diverse specialist, cross-sectoral, and transferable skills, empowering them to innovate solutions for these and other healthcare challenges.
