Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship funded by the School of Psychology at Bangor University. The position will start in October 2019.
Project rationale and description. Prof Downing’s research is in the area of social perception. What are the neurocognitive mechanisms that transform perceptual data into reliable, socially-relevant signals about the people around us? Some recent and current studies in the lab examine.
Project rationale and description. The project will focus on training-induced changes in the cerebral processing of sound in healthy participants as well as participants with mild or moderate hearing loss.
Project rationale and description. Growing up without a hand poses unique and difficult challenges. Prosthesis provision for infants and young children is extremely limited, and the basic-science principles that inform how children learn to use prosthetic devices are largely unknown.
Applicants are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD program in partnership with a global leader in health care systems. The project will involve the development of a scalable skin-attachable electrochemical sensor that is capable of detecting important analytes such as glucose and urea, in human perspiration.
LiDAR is a technology based on a laser mounted on a plane or satellite, which can yield detailed scans of forest ecosystems. This valuable information allows detailed analyses of the ecology and dynamics of tree populations, and it is commonly used for estimating forest carbon stocks.
The high Arctic is warming at an alarming rate, disrupting soil carbon, nutrient and hydrological cycles. This is resulting in increased soil microbial activity with subsequent increases in nutrient availability and hence plant productivity and nutrient losses to the wider environment.
Animals face many challenges as increased urbanisation impacts their ability to survive and reproduce. Nowhere is this more evident than in migratory birds.
