5 PhD studentships in interdisciplinary infancy research for entry in October 2017
See www.lancaster.ac.uk/leverhulme-dsp
Deadline for applications: 15 February, 2017
Lancaster University, one of the top 10 universities in the United Kingdom, has one of the largest infancy research groups in Europe. Here, we study cognitive, language, social and emotional development in populations ranging from foetuses to pre-school children with a large range of methods (e.g., eye tracking, EEG, computational modelling, NIRS, 4D ultrasound).
We are now inviting applications for five fully funded PhD scholarships for entry in October 2017. Four of the scholarships will cover UK/EU fees, and the fifth will additionally cover the higher overseas (international) fees. All scholarships provide a living stipend (currently £14,296) and an exceptionally generous training and research allowance for three years. These scholarships are funded through the Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarship Programme in Interdisciplinary Research on Infant Development, which will provide a total of 22 PhD studentships over six years. 2017 is the third year of this programme.
The Programme is based in the Psychology Department of Lancaster University (UK; see http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/psychology/ ). Links with other departments in the University (Linguistics, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics) exist and will be further developed.
The studentships will have a strong interdisciplinary focus with the expectation to employ multiple methodologies.
HOW TO APPLY
Applicants should have an excellent undergraduate, and normally Masters degree, in Psychology or a related discipline. Before sending your application you must contact an individual staff member to discuss your specific interests and to develop a 1500-word research proposal as part of your application (see http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/leverhulme-dsp/academic-staff/ for staff research interests). Your application should identify your planned supervisor and (potentially) co-supervisor.
You should apply online to the University through the usual route http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/ for a PhD in Psychology by the deadline of 15 February, 2017. In the application, please state clearly that you are applying for the Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarship Programme.

MAGDALEN VERNON PHD STUDENTSHIPS 2017
The School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences is delighted to invite applications for three fully funded PhD Studentships in research projects aligned with the expertise of one of our three Research Divisions: Psychopathology & Affective Neuroscience; Language, Development and Aging; and Perception, Cognition & Nutrition.
The studentships are named in honour of Professor Magdalen Vernon (1901-1991), who was the first female Head of the then Department of Psychology at the University of Reading, and a founding member of the Experimental Psychology Society.
Each of these three-year studentships covers fees at the UK/EU rate and a maintenance stipend of £14,496. International students are welcome to apply but must be able to pay the difference between UK/EU fees and international fees.
Applications are especially welcomed from female applicants. We also welcome applications for part-time and flexible working.
Housed in state-of-the-art facilities, the School has established itself as a leading centre for research. The School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences was ranked in the top 20 (15th) in the UK within its unit of assessment in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework based on research power. The successful candidates will join a thriving postgraduate research community of more than 70 PhD students who benefit from excellent support and resources from the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences (https://www.reading.ac.uk/pcls/) and membership of the University Graduate School (http://www.reading.ac.uk/graduateschool/).

The University of Alabama invites applications for the Educational Psychology PhD Program (http://edpsych.ua.edu) within its Department of Educational Studies in Psychology, Research Methodology, and Counseling, including the new developmental Education and Cognitive Science (ECS) Lab (http://ecs.ua.edu), which plans to accept at least one incoming graduate student to begin in Fall 2017. The Educational Psychology PhD Program consists of three tracks: human development, learning sciences, and educational neuroscience. We are looking for students who are interested in studying the cognitive, affective, and/or neural mechanisms of learning and exploring their educational implications in one or more domains (e.g., math learning/development & numerical cognition, science education, literacy & oral language development, motivation & affect, learning technologies, social cognitive processes, cognitive & behavioral disorders). Students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds (e.g., education, cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, learning sciences, STEM fields, computer science) are encouraged to apply.
Interested applicants can view further details about the application process at http://ecs.ua.edu/news/phd-prospects/and can submit their materials at http://graduate.ua.edu/prospects/application/. When accessing the application site, students should select “Educational Psychology” as their intended major and should indicate which track they are interested in (human development, learning sciences, or educational neuroscience) in their letter of application. Review of applications will begin on January 15 and continue until April 15. Applicants seeking funding, i.e. a graduate assistantship or a fellowship, are encouraged to apply by January 21.
Prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr. Steve Thoma (sthoma @ ua.edu) with questions about the program generally and, if interested in working in the ECS Lab specifically, Dr. Lisa Hsin (lisa.b.hsin @ ua.edu). (Delete the spaces around the "@" to email.)

Our students and graduates make a difference in children’s lives! At the University of Delaware, we welcome excellent students into our doctoral program who are motivated to work on projects that promote school and life success. Our PhD program in education with a specialty in Learning Sciencesdraws from courses all over the university to equip our graduates with an understanding of how to engender deep learning. Graduates of the learning sciences are in demand given the educational challenges in today’s society. Our program is for students who wish to focus on areas related to STEM learning, language, cognitive, and numerical development, learning disabilities, or the use of technology in education. With only 20% of children’s time spent in school, we are interested in studying how learning takes place in other learning venues such as homes, museums, and after school programs.
Our focus is interdisciplinary, bridging education with work in cognitive science, psychology, and human development. Students learn to communicate their research findings with both professional and lay audiences. They develop a rich methodological toolkit for designing and assessing outcomes of investigations relating to learning and instruction and interventions of all types. Graduates of our program obtain positions at colleges and universities as well research, development, and policy agencies.
Our award-winning faculty hold grants from NIH, NSF, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), and private foundations and are eager to mentor students. We support our students in good standing for 4-5 years of study and equip them to become leaders in their fields. Our track record for placing our graduates is excellent.
For more information please go to www.education.udel.edu/doctoral/phd/ls/.
Please contact us if you have any questions about our program or are interested in applying.

This PhD financial support is primarily intended for students who have a master’s degree in linguistics or in cognitive sciences (and preferably a background in language development). The candidate should demonstrate a strong interest in (typical or atypical) early language acquisition. Foreign applications are welcomed provided that candidates are fluent in French.
Requirements
A Master’s degree in the field of linguistics or cognitive sciences; French-Portuguese bilingual and a good level in English ; Knowledge in the field of language acquisition ; Experience in linguistic oriented software like Phon or Clan will be a plus ; Knowledge in statistics will also be a plus.
PhD information
This PhD is funded by the « laboratoire d’excellence ASLAN » (Advanced studies on language complexity), and the candidate will be affiliated to the « laboratoire DDL Dynamique Du Langage » (UMR5596 CNRS – Université Lumière Lyon 2, Lyon, France) under the supervision of Sophie Kern (CR, CNRS) and Christophe dos Santos (MCF, Université François-Rabelais). The funding will be around 1 400 € net monthly. The appointment for a doctoral research fellowship is for 3 years commencing September or October 2016.
Project description
The goal of the PhD is to study early lexical development of French-Portuguese bilingual children living in France. Different types of measure should be combined in order to describe, to the fullest extent as possible, bilingual lexical development, taking into account the input as well as linguistic factors such as semantic, grammatical categories and/or phonological complexity. This PhD will be part of the WP3 « from the individual to interaction » of ASLAN and more particularly the WP3 task named « Understanding language development and impairments ». One of the main goals of this task is to identify and weigh social, linguistic, interactional, and neurocognitive factors impacting language development.
