The aim of the PhD project is to investigate the functional properties of sub-cortical visual pathways in awake mice. The successful student will join a growing group of neurophysiologists in the department who study vision, audition and spatial navigation in rodents (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/psychlangsci/research/CPB). The laboratory is well equipped for neurophysiological and computational research including multi-channel electrophysiological recording and behaviour in head-fixed and freely moving animals.
Entry requirements: Applicants should have a good upper second or first-class degree in a neuroscience discipline (e.g. neuroscience, psychology, biology). They should also have excellent written and verbal communication skills. A relevant Masters degree and neurophysiological experience would be an advantage.Â

The CV must state the degree class achieved (or the current average grade), and should also include the names and contacts details of two academic referees, who may be approached at the interview stage. Informal enquiries should be directed to Sam Solomon (s.solomon@ucl.ac.uk).
Award type and eligibility: The studentship covers tuition fees (UK/EU rate) for the PhD; a stipend (£15,590 per year) and a contribution towards research costs, training and conference attendance. All remaining research costs will be covered by additional funds of the supervisor.
