PhD opportunity: Winner and loser effects on competitive performance

We are looking for a suitable candidate for a 4-year PhD project investigating the factors influencing winner and loser effects on competitive performance, as part of this year's BBSRC SWBio Doctoral Training Partnership. This interdisciplinary project bridges evolutionary biology and sports science and will be based with me (as the main supervisor) in the Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter (http://psychology.exeter.ac.uk/research/centres/crab/). Co-supervision will be provided by Prof. Alastair Wilson (Biosciences, Univ. Exeter), Dr Rachel Arnold (Department of Health, Univ. Bath) and Dr Mark Wilson (Sport & Health Sciences, Univ. Exeter).

The project is one of several competing for funding within the SWBio DTP. More details about the project, eligibility requirements and how to apply are available at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=2771.

Please feel free to get in touch with me if you would like any further information before applying.
