Dear All,
I would appreciate it if you`d propagate the following opportunity among prospective students.

The Institute of Psychology at the University of Pecs, Hungary, has started a PhD program for international students. During the program, among other possibilities, students can join research that aims to extend our knowledge about the cognitive and neural background of face perception. We`re particularly interested in how semantic knowledge about a person interacts with affective processes during recognition. The students will have access to the following equipment in our lab:

- device for accurate reaction time measurements (cedrus)
- eye-tracker (Toobi TX300)
- physiological measurements (BIOPAC modules: EDA, heart rate, respiration rate, EMG etc)
- EEG (brain products, 64 channel)
- Noldus observer XT

For a limited number of students who are EU-citizens (or citizens of the European Economic Area) we can provide a full scholarship that covers tuition fee and costs of housing.

For citizens of other countries there is a tuition fee (3500 euros per semester).

Citizens of eligible countries may apply for the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship that covers tution fee and housing, but because of its deadline (January each year) the costs of those who wish to start in 2024 would be covered from the second year on.

The deadline for self-paying students is 15th June, 2024 (with a possibility of extension) .

The strict deadline for a fully funded program is 24th May, 2024.

Prior informal inquiries are advised.
