We are currently recruiting a PhD candidate to join the School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Domenica Veniero.
The general topic of study will be how brain oscillations can shape human behaviour. More specifically, the candidate will investigate how brain rhythms generated within higher-level cortical areas are responsible for changes in primary areas, e.g., primary visual and motor cortex. To investigate the topic, the candidate will be mainly using EEG and brain stimulation (TMS).
The successful candidate will be based in the School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham. The studentship is funded by the Faculty of Science and will provide a stipend to cover living costs and will cover Home University fees (Stipend £ 15,609, Home fee estimated £4,496). International students are welcome to apply, but the studentship will not cover international fees.
Essential: the ideal candidate must have a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience and data analysis. Desirable: experience with signal processing and/or collecting data using EEG; experience with Matlab and software packages such as PsychoPy.
