Hi Christine,
I hope you're well! I was wondering if you might be kind enough to circulate the
following advertisement for a fully-funded PhD studentship to any relevant students in
your Behaviour and Evolution Research group, or anyone who might be interested please?
A fully-funded PhD opportunity is available at the Psychology department at Nottingham
Trent University, supervised by Dr. Eithne Kavanagh, Professor Bridget Waller and Dr. Ella
McLoughlin (link
here<https://www.ntu.ac.uk/study-and-courses/postgraduate/phd/phd-opportunities/studentships/health-innovation-phd-studentships/physiological-health-outcomes-of-dominance-hierarchies-in-team-based-contexts>;
deadline 13th February). We are seeking a student with a keen interest in the evolution of
social behaviour. The project will focus on social hierarchies and their associated
nonverbal behaviour and health outcomes. Informal enquiries are encouraged and can be
directed to eithne.kavanagh@ntu.ac.uk<mailto:eithne.kavanagh@ntu.ac.uk>.
