Funded PhD Studentship in Crossmodal Cognition and Sensory Substitution

Job Description : A three-year PhD studentship is available in the Crossmodal Cognition Laboratory in the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, directed by Dr Michael J Proulx.

A sensory substitution device aims to provide visual information in a format that another sense, such as the auditory system, can process (see Figure 1). Could a blind person ‘see’ again if visual information is translated into a format another one of the senses can process? If so, such a finding would have a clear impact on the quality of life for visually impaired individuals, but also would answer fundamental questions about the nature of the sensory modalities for cognition. How similar are visual search and auditory search?

Applications are invited from candidates with, or expecting to be awarded, at least an upper-second class honours degree or equivalent in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, or related areas. Previous research experience and programming skills would be valued highly. To apply, please complete an online application form via the following link by 12 February 2010: http://www.sbcs.qmul.ac.uk/prospectivestudents/research/studentships

The studentship provides funding for three years, to include fees and an annual stipend (£15,290 in 2009/10). International applicants are welcome to apply.

Please see http://www2.sbcs.qmul.ac.uk/staff/michael_proulx or contact Dr Proulx at m.proulx@qmul.ac.uk for informal queries.
