Funded PhD

by Pawel Fedurek

FYI: Fully funded PhD project available at Nottingham Trent University. Linked to a BBSRC funded grant, this project will investigate how primates perceive and respond to infants, combining cutting-edge cognitive testing with behavioural data. The findings will be used to develop non-invasive tools that can predict how individuals will interact with infants, ultimately informing breeding management and enhancing welfare standards in captive colonies. The project will also help us understand the fundamental mechanisms underpinning individual differences in parenting. (Note: open to UK students only). For informal enquiries contact Dr Yuri Kawaguchi (see below link to advert). Deadline 2nd February 2026 for an April start. https://www.ntu.ac.uk/study-and-courses/postgraduate/phd/phd-opportunities/… ________________________________ Scotland's University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
