Ref: Psych2012

Applications are invited for two full time Postgraduate Research Studentships in Psychology, based at the University of Derby's main Kedleston Rd site. Candidates should have a good (at least upper second) honours degree in psychology or a closely related discipline. The successful applicants will enrol in January 2013 to begin a programme of supervised research leading to the award of PhD, and will undertake up to six hours of teaching per week.

Successful applicants will receive a studentship of £14,800 per annum and fees will be paid at the UK/EU level. Fees for non-UK/EU students are higher. Non-UK/EU students may apply, but if successful would be responsible for paying top-up fees to the relevant level.

Psychology research at the University of Derby has strengths in cognitive psychology, health and wellbeing, mental health, human performance, social psychology, and pedagogic psychology. Applicants can submit a proposal on any topic but should consider the priority topic areas described in the application pack, and should contact potential supervisors for informal discussion about potential applications.
