And several others in cognition & neuroscience (also fully funded, also cool):
Creating digital visual
communication tools to facilitate the diagnosis of migraine | Nottingham Trent University
Women's physical
and cognitive health across the menstrual cycle, into menopause, and beyond | Nottingham Trent University
Using
imaging spectroscopy to measure individual differences in facial expressivity in human and non-human primates | Nottingham Trent University

NTU Psychology is one of the largest psychology departments in the UK, with ~150 staff from all disciplines of psychology, a thriving community of cognitive, perceptual and neuroscience research, and a growing group of hearing researchers.
NTU was Guardian UK University of Year 2019, Times and Sunday Times UK Modern University of Year 2022/2023. Nottingham is one of those “just the right size” places; centrally located within the UK, with plenty of city life yet within easy
reach of the countryside, including the beautiful Peak District.
