4-year PhD Programme in Neuroscience

Sussex Neuroscience is now inviting applications for September 2016 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 30 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

Consciousness Science

Application Deadline: January 11th 2016

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 for all students, and a stipend is provided. We also offer financial support for students to attend conferences and additional training opportunities in the UK and overseas throughout their PhD.
