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

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 a 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. 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, fMRI

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, students from selected countries (mainly from Asia, Africa, and South America) 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:

Details about the programme will appear soon at the following sites:

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.
