[vslist] PhD studentship in cognitive neuroscience

[David Milner]

Dear colleagues,
I append an advert below for a new PhD studentship.
It offers a great opportunity to gain experience using a range of cognitive
neuroscience methodologies and to work in different collaborating labs.
Please circulate to your colleagues and to students who may be interested.
Please ask anyone interested to email a.d.milner at dur.ac.uk to receive further details.
Many thanks,
David Milner.

PS -- my apologies if this message reaches you more than once.

Postgraduate Research Studentship in Cognitive Neuroscience

 

Applications are invited for the above PhD studentship, which is funded by the Leverhulme Trust as part of a recently awarded Interchange Research Grant entitled "The Neural Correlates of Visual Consciousness".  The grant funds a three-year collaboration between four research centres, located respectively at the University of Durham, the University of Oxford, the University of Western Ontario, and INSERM Research Unit 534 at Lyon, France.  The PhD student will be based at the University of Durham: mainly in the Wolfson Research Institute at the Stockton-on-Tees campus, but partly also at the Durham campus.  The work will additionally include one or two 3-4-week periods of research in each of the other three collaborating laboratories, as well as participation in annual workshop meetings that bring together the four collaborating research teams.  The appointee will work closely with Dr Amanda Ellison, who is a postdoctoral research associate on the grant.  

 

The successful applicant will be involved in empirical research using a range of techniques, including behavioural and psychophysical analyses of normal and brain-damaged subjects, transcranial magnetic stimulation, event-related potentials, and functional neuroimaging.  The studentship thus offers the opportunity to develop research expertise across the broad field of cognitive neuroscience.  Applicants must have a good honours degree in psychology or behavioural neuroscience.  In addition, research experience with one or more of the above methodologies would be advantageous.  The award is tenable for 3 years and has a starting date of 1st September 2001 or as soon as possible thereafter.

 

Closing Date for Applications: 20th April 2002.

 

Enquiries and applications should be addressed to Professor AD Milner (phone 0191-374-2611 or 01642-333850; e-mail a.d.milner at dur.ac.uk).  Applications must include a CV and the names of two academic referees.
