Applications are invited for a full-time University studentship to support and work in the Department of Psychology.
Background The university has funding for a full-time University Research Studentship to enable an excellent candidate to work on travel psychology and behaviour. This will involve carrying out studies and interventions on the staff and students of the university. The overall aim is better to understand why people travel as they do, and how they might be helped to make more use of healthy and sustainable travel modes, particularly walking, bicycling and public transport.
The student will conduct their research under the primary supervision of Dr Ian Walker, and will be part of his transport and environmental psychology research group.
The Project Further details of the project can be found on the University website at the apply button below

- Fulfil the entrance requirements for a Department for psychology MPhil/PhD (link to the MPhil/PhD Study page).
