[visionlist] Please post: PhD studentships available at Stirling University, UK

[Ross Goutcher]

The Department of Psychology in the University of Stirling intends to offer two funded PhD studentship/teaching fellowships starting in October 2009. The department has an enthusiastic and vibrant research community, which provides a stimulating and exciting environment for postgraduate study. We encourage students who expect to obtain a First or Upper Second class Honours degree in Psychology or a related discipline, or who already have an MSc, to apply for a PhD at Stirling.

Research supervision is available in a range of areas, including visual perception.  Students interested in researching binocular vision and/or the perception of depth and three-dimensional shape should contact Dr Ross Goutcher (Ross.Goutcher at stir.ac.uk) to discuss potential projects.

The department has an outstanding record of success in both teaching and research. According to recent national assessment we rank among the best UK Psychology Departments for research and have achieved the highest rating, "Excellent", for Teaching Quality. The Department also has full "1+3" and "+3" ESRC recognition status as an accredited training outlet.

The department's research is supported by state-of-the-art facilities, including an in-house playgroup, human electrophysiological recording and analysis facilities, health and clinical laboratories, and expertise in computational modeling. The department has excellent facilities for postgraduate students, including allocated office space, equipment and conference funding.

The studentships will be fully funded at Research Council rates (circa £12,000 per annum) and successful applicants will be expected to contribute towards teaching in the department.
