[Comp-neuro] Ph.D. Studentships at ISRC, University of Ulster - Computational Neuroscience

 

Ph.D. Studentships at ISRC, University of Ulster – Computational Neuroscience

 

The Intelligent Systems Research Centre (ISRC) at the University of Ulster, UK, invites applications for Ph.D. studentships. The application process for a Ph.D. studentship is opened with a closing date for applications of Friday 23rd March 2012. All studentships start on September 2012, include tuition fees, and an annual maintenance allowance of approximately £13,000. If you wish to apply for a studentship please follow the instructions at: http://www.compeng.ulster.ac.uk/rgs/

Please note that the closing date is Friday 23rd March 2012. Also note that some studentships (DEL Awards) have restrictions on residence eligibility – see guidance notes for details. For further information, please contact Professor Martin McGinnity at tm.mcginnity@ulster.ac.uk and/or the corresponding project supervisors.

A list of studentships offered for the academic year 2012-2013 and the projects’ details can be found at: http://isrc.ulster.ac.uk/isrc-phd-studentships-competition-2012.html
