INTEGRATE (MSCA Doctoral Network) — DC10: Methodological challenges in psychedelic research

The PRSM lab hosts one of sixteen doctoral positions in INTEGRATE, a pan-European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network training the next generation of experts in psychedelic therapy, running from 2026 to 2030 across nine countries and more than twenty partner organisations. Our doctoral candidate (DC10) tackles the methodological problems that currently limit what psychedelic trials can tell us — expectancy and placebo effects, functional unblinding, and thin mechanistic evidence — and develops empirically grounded recommendations for designing, analysing and reporting studies in the field. Co-supervised by Michiel van Elk and Eiko Fried.
