I would appreciate it if you`d propagate the following opportunity.

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

- device for accurate reaction time measurement (cedrus)

- eye-tracker (Toobi XT300)

- physiological measurements (BIOPAC modules: EDA, hearth rate, respiration rate, EMG etc)

- EEG

Please note that there is a tuition fee (3500 euros per semester in the first and second year, and 2500 euros per semester in the third and fourth year). However, from the second year on, students from selected countries may apply for a scholarship by the Stipendium Hungaricum which covers both tuition fee and costs of living. The list of eligible countries can be found here:

We are still waiting for the official approval of the PhD program from the university administration, hence application will be possible only from July. Until then, informal enquiries can be sent to kocsor.ferenc@pte.hu. Students with a background in psychology, biology, or other related fields, are welcome to apply.

best regards
