A new studentship is being advertised within the Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter (located in the School of Psychology, on the Streatham campus in Exeter). The studentship is for 5 years, and is expected to allow a student to complete a PhD under part-time registration, while at the same time working 2 days per weeks assisting Professor Stephen Lea in the editing of a major international journal in the area of animal cognition. The financial package is worth £11,500 per year, and some assistance with university fees may also be available. The studentship is specifically intended for research work in animal visual cognition, at least initially involving complex visual learning in pigeons.
