Applications are invited for a three-year fully funded PhD studentship in the School of Psychology, Bangor University under the supervision of Dr Giovanni d’Avossa. The studentship is available from October 1st 2010 (or as soon as possible thereafter) and includes payment of UK / EU level tuition fees, a maintenance allowance of approximately £13,590 and a research allowance of £750 per year for 3 years.

Project
The lab research interests are the central mechanisms of visual attention and spatial vision assessed with behavioral and functional imaging methods. A large registry of brain injured patients with focal lesions in cortical and subcortical structures is maintained by Prof. Rafal and Dr. d’Avossa, allowing interested applicants the opportunity to test individuals with specific visual and attentional impairments. The lab has equipment for visual testing, including a large touch screen and state of the art eye-tracker.  The lab is also well set up for the analysis of imaging data acquired on the 3T Phillips MR scanner housed in the ground floor of the building where the School of Psychology is located.

In addition to the requirements listed below, applicants should have a strong background in psychology, biology, physical sciences or engineering.

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and appointment is subject to a clear enhanced CRB check. The closing date for applications is Tuesday, 31st August 2010.

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Giovanni d’Avossa: g.davossa@bangor.ac.uk
