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 (Stipend £ 15,609, Home fee estimated £4,496). International students are welcome to apply, but the studentship will not cover international fees.
