The Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London invites applications for four studentships funded by a strategic investment to enhance our neuroscience research capacity.
The Department has an active and expanding postgraduate research community, is well-equipped for research, and is situated on a beautiful campus close to London. We were ranked 6th out of 82 UK Psychology Departments in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF), with 93% of our research classified as world-leading or internationally excellent. Research in the department spans a breadth of topics across psychological sciences and neuroscience and is supported by excellent facilities. These include a research-designated functional neuroimaging unit (fMRI), EEG and TMS labs, a psychophysiology lab, a psycho-linguistics lab, eye-tracking, and a baby lab. Further information on our research environment can be found here.
The four available studentships are funded by the College, and would suit applicants interested in developing expertise in cognitive neuroscience techniques, in particular structural and functional MRI, EEG, TMS and tDCS. Awards include a tax-free stipend in the region of £14,500 pa for three years, and cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate. Overseas applicants are also welcome to apply but would be required to pay the overseas tuition fees. There may be opportunities to compete for scholarships to cover part of these fees. Applicants should hold, or be predicted to achieve, a first class undergraduate degree in Psychology, or related disciplines. An MSc in a psychology- or neuroscience-related subject is desirable but not essential.
