Postgraduate Research Studentships in Psychology (2 studentships)

3 and 4 year bursaries of £14,300 per annum

Ref: Psych/QRStud10

 

Applications are invited for two Postgraduate Research Studentships in Psychology. Candidates should have a good (at least upper second) honours degree in psychology or a closely related discipline. A Masters level degree that includes relevant research methods training will be a significant advantage.

The successful applicants will receive a bursary and fees will be paid at the UK/EU level (£3,300 per year).  Fees for non-UK/EU students are higher. Non-UK/EU students may apply, but would be responsible for paying top-up fees to the relevant level.

The successful applicants will undertake a three year (for ‘traditional’ route) or four-year (for ‘new route’) programme of supervised research leading to the award of PhD. PhD students at the University of Derby without relevant Masters level research methods training must take the ‘new route’, which involves additional research skills modules during the first two years of the studentship.

 

Psychology research at Derby includes cognitive psychology, health psychology, pedagogic psychology, psychology of mental health, psychology of paranormal phenomena, ergonomics, and social psychology, and the successful applicant will belong to one of the research clusters within the Centre for Psychological Research (http://psychology.derby.ac.uk/centre/)

For informal enquiries about the studentships, contact Professor James Elander, j.elander@derby.ac.uk or Dr David Sheffield, d.sheffield@derby.ac.uk, at the Centre for Psychological Research, University of Derby.
