UK: PhD Studentships available at Stirling University

PhD studentships available at Stirling University, UK

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 [ à ] stir.ac.uk) to discuss
potential projects.
