Offer: PhD Studentship: Psychophysiology of human performance and learning:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Psychophysiology of human performance and learning ( manager: Dr Germano Gallicchio) The School of Human and Behavioural Sciences, Bangor University, invites for applications for a three-year PhD studentship covering tuition fees, maintenance stipend (approx. £16,062 per annum for 3 years), and research allowance (approx. £750). The studentship can commence any time between October 2022 and January 2023. Project The project aims to investigate the fundamental mechanisms determining human performance and brain-body interactions. The position involves the acquisition and the analysis of behavioural (e.g., task performance, movement parameters/biomechanics), self-report (e.g., questionnaires, ratings), and electrophysiological (e.g., EEG, ECG) data. The precise research topic will be adapted to the interests and specific qualifications of the candidate, but example projects include: (a) identifying markers of mental fatigue, studying their mediatory function in diminishing cognitive and behavioural performance, and evaluating options for training protocols for increasing resilience to fatigue. (b) developing, using, and evaluating novel bio/neurofeedback brain-computer interface procedures to support individuals in improving performance of motor expertise, using recently discovered psychophysiological phenomena. For more details, refer to the application page on the Bangor University website. Supervision Dr Germano Gallicchio's research (link) studies, develops, and applies a wide variety of psychophysiological, signal-processing, and computational techniques. He has worked across several institutions in various countries allowing him to develop a cross-disciplinary and international perspective. He will encourage the PhD student to spend some time at a research institution abroad funded by one of two mobility programmes. Depending on the project, secondary managers may be included as deemed appropriate. Person specification Essential General Requirements: » A degree in cognitive (neuro-) science, psychology, medicine, sport and exercise sciences, computer science, data science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or cognate disciplines. » Ambition Desirable qualities: » practice with quantitative data analysis (e.g., machine learning, inferential statistics), coding expertise (in languages such as Python, MATLAB, or R), practice electrophysiological signals (e.g., EEG, ECG) more information. Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Germano Gallicchio, email: g.gallicchio@bangor.ac.uk. How to apply: All applications must be received on 4th July 2022through our online application system: https://apps.bangor.ac.uk/applicant/ Applications must contain the following documents: » Curriculum Vitae, no longer than two pages. » Cover letter, including your motivation for applying for this studentship, aspirations beyond conducting a PhD, how you fit the essential and desirable criteria, and any reasons that you feel you are particularly suited to undertaking this project. » Two reference letters from academic staff to be submitted in support for this specific application. Candidates for this position must approach referees themselves and include the letters with their application. » Research proposal: four pages including a concise literature review, description of the research questions, hypotheses, the approach to collecting and analysing data, a proposed timeline for all elements of the research and writing up, and a reference list (the reference list is excluded from the page count). The key to an excellent proposal is conceptual and methodological depth rather than breadth. The proposal is not binding: the candidate and the manager will be able to make changes during the PhD. » Proof of English language proficiency if English is not your first language or if you have not completed university education in an English-speaking institution.
