[Karina J Linnell]

PhD studentship in attention in the Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths
College, University of London, UK.

Behavioural and ERP investigations of functional interactions between
space- and object-based attentional selection.

Applications are invited from UK and other EU citizens for (i) a 3-year
postgraduate research bursary or (ii) a 4-year ESRC 1+3 postgraduate
research studentship, to start in October 2004 in the Department of
Psychology at Goldsmiths.

The Department runs a number of postgraduate programmes, including a
recognized MRes, and aims to support all aspects of postgraduate career
development.  It has large attention and cognitive neuroscience groups
(www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/departments/psychology/research/cbb.html).
It has excellent facilities for vision research (CRS hardware, Eyelink and
two other eye-trackers) and a new SRIF-funded ERP laboratory (equipped with
one 64- and two 32-channel systems). The successful applicant will work for
a PhD with Karina Linnell, conducting behavioural and ERP investigations of
functional interactions between space- and object-based attentional
selection. There is also the opportunity for the applicant to develop their
own proposal on a topic in the fields of attention, visuomotor behaviour
and perception.

Applicants should have at least a good (high 2:1 or above) first degree in
psychology, physics, engineering, computer science or any other relevant
discipline, and should possess good experimental and programming skills, or
be prepared to develop them quickly. Informal enquiries to Karina Linnell
(k.j.linnell@gold.ac.uk ; tel: +44 (0)20 7717 2906). The closing date for
formal applications is 19 March 2004, so informal enquiries need to be made
