About the PhD

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. Roni Tibon. There is scope for the candidate to develop their own PhD project, within the main research interests of the lab. These include: the neurocognitive mechanisms that shape our memories, their interactions with other cognitive systems, and how they change throughout the lifespan; the large-scale brain networks that are involved in these interactions; the dynamics of these cognitive and neural mechanisms. 

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 (annual stipend £15,609, home fee estimated £4,496). International students may apply, but the studentship will not cover international fees. Interested international students should contact Dr. Roni Tibon.

The starting date is from 1st October 2022.
