The Studentship

Some teaching support duties will be required. Applicants with a background and interest in any area of language and communication, broadly defined, are encouraged to apply. Training in research methods and statistics for psychology is essential (those without such training should discuss thier options with Prof. Sotaro Kita s.kita@warwick.ac.uk). A master's degree is welcome, but is not necessary. We encourage applicants first to contact a potential supervisor in the Group to discuss topics, and to do so at an early stage.
