Deadline: 1 Feb. 2013
University of Nottingham -School of Psychology
The School of Psychology at University of Nottingham is seeking highly-motivated candidates for its PhD programme. We expect to take 12 fully-funded (covering home fees and a stipend of £13,590 per year) students each year, with funding coming from a variety of sources (School funding, research councils and charitable organisations).
Candidates should have a very good honours degree (at least 2:1 or equivalent) in a relevant discipline. A Masters qualification is not required at the point of application, although the application process is highly competitive and some students do have such qualifications. You may be advised to take an MSc as part of your training with us if necessary (a 1+3 PhD) and that can also, potentially, be funded as part of the studentship.
The School of Psychology at Nottingham is a research-led experimental psychology department covering a wide range of research areas, reflecting the broad, multi-disciplinary nature of the field. Studentships are available in any of the research areas within the school:
- Personality, Social Psychology & Health
- Human Development and Learning, including autism
- Cognition and language
- Visual neuroscience
- Perception and action
- Behavioural neuroscience
We have a very active group of over 60 postgraduate students in the school as well as a comprehensive range of facilities for psychology and/or neuroscience research. These include multiple scanners (at 1.5, 3 and 7 Tesla) for fMRI, several EEG/ERP systems, an MEG scanner, TMS systems, eye-trackers, a state-of-the-art driving simulator and an anechoic chamber.
How to apply
In the first instance you should identify a potential supervisor within the school with whom you would like to conduct your research. You should then develop a project proposal in discussion with that supervisor.
