About this position

This PhD project at the University of Birmingham explores the foundations and mechanisms of cooperative behaviour in human society. Cooperation is a fundamental aspect of social life, where individuals may incur personal costs to benefit the group. The research will investigate why and how people choose to cooperate, the psychological and social factors that influence these decisions, and the implications for group dynamics and societal outcomes.

The project is ideal for students interested in social psychology, group behaviour, and the evolution of prosocial actions. The University of Birmingham offers a vibrant research environment with access to leading experts in the field. Funding details and specific eligibility requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested applicants should monitor the university’s website for updates regarding application procedures and deadlines.
