Opportunity for PhD Studentship at the Centre for Integrative
Neuroscience & Neurodynamics (CINN).

The Faculties of Sciences & Life Sciences at the University of Reading
are jointly holding a studentship competition for International
Students (defined as non-EU/EEA). We encourage applications from
candidates wishing to complete a PhD in the Cognitive, Affective or
Social Neurosciences at the CINN.

Each studentship will provide a subsistence grant (normal UK research
council rate) as well as the University tuition fee (full-time
international at Reading) for 3 Academic Years.

Candidates should possess a 1st class Honours degree or equivalent in
Psychology, Neuroscience or a related discipline. An MSc with
Distinction or progress towards such an MSc would be an advantage.

Applications will be judged in a 2-stage procedure. In the first step,
the School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences will select the
strongest 2 submissions to the school. These will then be submitted to
the Faculty Deans, who will select the highest quality candidates who
have strong research plans for a topic compatible with the
University's Research Strategy.

The Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (
http://www.reading.ac.uk/cinn/ ) occupies a dedicated wing in the
School of Psychology & CLS building at the University of Reading. It
houses a 3T Siemens Trio research-dedicated MRI scanner and
high-density EEG laboratory. These facilities are complemented by high
resolution stimulus display systems with integrated high-speed eye
tracking, MRI compatible EEG and TMS systems. Research at CINN
involves the neural mechanisms underpinning complex cognitive and
affective behaviours, with particular strengths in affective
neuroscience and the neural mechanisms of perception and action.

Interested candidates should send an email with a brief statement of
research interests and a CV, including details of nationality to:
