Dear comp-neuro colleagues,

We are now inviting applications for the PhD Programme in Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, for entry in September 2018. Could you please kindly distribute to interested students – we are very interested in applications from students with quantitative (physical sciences/computing/math) backgrounds.

Thank you

Best wishes

4-year PhD Programme in Neuroscience

Sussex Neuroscience is now inviting applications for September 2018 entry to our funded PhD Programme, which includes a first year of laboratory rotations and taught modules. These support a transition into neuroscience from other science disciplines such as physics and computing, and provide students with the opportunity to both broaden and deepen their experience of different neuroscience fields and techniques. More than 40 supervisors are offering research projects across the following thematic areas:

Circuits, Systems and Computational Neuroscience

Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience

Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

Translational and Clinical Neuroscience

Application Deadline: January 8th 2018

The Sussex campus is home to one of the largest neuroscience research communities in the UK, with strong interdisciplinary interactions between the biological and computational sciences. 

Our PhD Programme attracts some of the brightest students internationally. Home/EU fees are waived and a stipend is provided. We also welcome applications from non-EU students; we are able to contribute top-up funds to exceptional international students who have secured external funding. All students on the Programme can access financial support to attend conferences and additional training opportunities in the UK and overseas throughout their PhD.
