Cognitive Development Unit
Location: London, UK
========
====================================================
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship,
starting October 1996, financed by the Down's Syndrome
Association Studentship Scheme awarded to Professor Annette
Karmiloff-Smith
at the above MRC unit. The candidate would
work directly with Professor Karmiloff-Smith, as well as
consulting with other CDU scientists, on infants and young
children with Down's syndrome, compared to other phenotypes
such as Williams syndrome. The work would involve
traditional habituation/preference studies in infancy, the
use of non-invasive measurement of brain activity, as well
as some connectionist modelling. Appropriate training will
be provided where necessary.
Expertise in these areas is
not essential, but an interest in and commitment to the
importance of developmental cognitive neuroscience is.
The CDU is a full-time research unit with close contacts
with the Psychology Department at University College
London where the student would be officially registered.
The successful applicant would benefit from all the
postgraduate facilities and courses of University College
London which confers the PhD degree. S/he would also have
access to CDU research facilities, to our very up-to-date
library and to our regular in-house theoretical seminars.
The CDU scientists are specialised in both normal and
abnormal development from birth to adolescence in a wide
range of cognitivo-linguistic domains of enquiry. We have
full infant laboratory testing facilities and have recently
installed a state-of-the-art ERP laboratory for the
non-invasive measurement from infancy through to adulthood
of functional brain activity.
Candidates with or expecting to obtain a First or Upper
Second class degree, not necessarily in development but
in any of the following fields: experimental psychology,
cognitive development, biology, cognitive science, or
cognitive neuroscience, should apply to the address
below IMMEDIATELY with full CV. They should also obtain
application forms from University College London whose
entrance criteria they must also meet, and return these
by 29th February 1996 latest. Candidates must be a British
citizen or to be already living in Britain for a full
studentship. A fees-only studentship can be awarded to
EEC students under certain conditions also.
