About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in vision science, neuroscience, and sport psychology, focused on improving golf putting performance through better visual processing and skilled behavior research.

The project examines how the brain modulates information processing during putting under changing task conditions and psychological pressure. It uses mobile eye-tracking, EEG, experimental design, and advanced behavioral analysis to study fixation patterns, green reading, visual routines, and their effects on putting accuracy and success.

This PhD is part of the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership and is a 4-year funded project. Funding covers a stipend at the UKRI standard rate and UK-level tuition fees, with the University of St Andrews covering the Home-International fee difference. The opportunity is open to UK and international students.

Suitable applicants include students from Neuroscience and related fields such as Psychology, Biology, Physics, and Computer Science. The post highlights interest in human vision and sport; experience in skilled performance is helpful but not required.

Application steps include completing the EASTBIO Equality, Diversity and Inclusion survey, the EASTBIO Application Form, and an online application via the University of St Andrews portal. Applicants should select PhD with internship and upload the required documents, including academic qualifications, English language qualification if applicable, and two references.

Queries about the project should be directed to the supervisor. Application questions can be sent to Rachel Horn at [email protected].
