The studentships provide full funding, including tuition and a stipend, though specific financial details are not listed. Applicants should be motivated and interested in these research areas; while no explicit entry requirements are stated, a background in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, or related disciplines is likely advantageous. The application deadline is December 11, 2024. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Edwin Burns at [email protected] for an informal discussion about the opportunity and their fit for the lab.
