The Durham University Department of Psychology has a number of opportunities to apply for fully-funded PhD studentships to start in October 2019. We are looking for students with a strong academic track record wishing to gain doctoral training in a vibrant research environment with state of the art facilities, including a 3T MRI scanner, acoustically controlled testing chamber, two RF shielded and sound-proof EEG chambers, as well as laboratories for brain stimulation (TMS, tdCS), motion capture and analysis, behavioural experiments and eye-tracking. Our staff lead world-leading research across four groups: Perception, Action & Awareness, Developmental Science, Quantitative Social Psychology, and Learning, Memory & Cognition. We offer PhD research projects in all these areas – see https://www.dur.ac.uk/psychology/postgraduate/researchprojects/ for some example project suggestions. Prospective students are also very welcome to get in touch with members of staff to propose their own research ideas see https://www.dur.ac.uk/psychology/staff/).
