[Ediz Sohoglu]

Dear colleagues,

I would be grateful if you could circulate details about a PhD studentship available at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, starting September 2022.


A fully funded PhD studentship in auditory cognitive neuroscience is available at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, supervised by Dr. Ediz Sohoglu. This project will use EEG and multivariate analysis methods to investigate the neural plasticity supporting perceptual learning of speech. The PhD student will be based in the School of Psychology and have the opportunity to interact with vibrant Sussex research communities that include (1) the Centre for Sensory Neuroscience and Computation, bringing together neuroscientists and modelers interested in sensory systems, and (2) neuroimaging researchers centred around the Clinical Imaging Sciences Centre. They will also have the opportunity to interact with project collaborator, Dr. Edmund Lalor (University of Rochester, USA).

The successful applicant will be awarded a stipend for 3 years (tied to the UKRI studentship rates, currently £15,609 per year). UK tuition fees and research/training costs are also covered.

Closing date for applications: April 4th

Eligibility:
-This award will only pay tuition fees at the Home/UK rate.
-Candidates must have, or expect to obtain, a First or a high Upper Second Class Honours undergraduate degree, or equivalent qualification, and/or a Merit (an average of 60% overall) in a Master’s degree in Psychology or other relevant discipline (e.g. Neuroscience, Engineering, Computer Science).
-Previous experience of computer programming, functional brain imaging (EEG, fMRI) or signal processing is desirable.

For informal discussion, please email Dr. Ediz Sohoglu (E.Sohoglu at sussex.ac.uk<mailto:E.Sohoglu at sussex.ac.uk>).
