About this position

?? Fully Funded PhD Opportunities at Swansea University ??

Are you (or someone you know) interested in pursuing a funded PhD in Psychology? I’m looking for motivated students to join my lab to research the following topics:

?? Emerging neurodevelopmental / neurodivergent groups (e.g., aphantasia, severely deficient autobiographical memory, interoception)
?? Developmental prosopagnosia (face recognition difficulties)
?? Strengthening the validity of psychological science
?? Cognitive & behavioural factors in the acceptance of political violence

These PhD studentships are funded through the Welsh Graduate School for the Social Sciences ??

?? Application deadline: 11th December

If this sounds like a topic you (or someone in your network) are interested in, then please feel free to reach out for an informal chat at [email protected]

Forgot to add, my recent PhD student Dr Katherine Maw nominated me for a PhD supervisor of the year award at FindAPhD.com , so hopefully that stands for something when you're picking me as a supervisor!
