Two doctoral studentships funded by the European Research Council (ERC) are available from September 2010 in the Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths, University of London. You can apply for either a 1+3-year (Masters and PhD) or a 3-year doctoral programme. You will work under the supervision of Dr Andy Bremner, as part of a research team funded by a 5-year ERC grant, ‘HEMSDEV: An Investigation of the Construction of Human Embodied Multisensory Experience in Infancy and Early Childhood', and will have access to, and training in, both behavioural and neurophysiological (ERP) methods.
Allowance
A stipend of £19,250 per annum will be provided. You will be expected to pay your own university fees (£3,500 per annum).
Qualifications
Applicants for a 1+3 studentship should have a good first degree (1st class, high 2:1, or equivalent) in Psychology or a closely allied discipline. Applicants for a 3-year doctorate will normally be expected to hold a Master's degree in an area related to Psychology. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong aptitude and motivation to work in a research team, undertaking both collaborative and individual research projects in a scientifically rigorous way. We are also looking for a candidate who will be able to work with infants, children and parents, present research at national and international scientific meetings, and submit research manuscripts for publication on a regular basis.
