PhD Studentships: Psychology

PhD – UK tuition fees paid and an annual expected stipend of £16,062 for 3 years (subject to satisfactory progress)

The Psychology group in the Department of Psychology, Sociology and Politics at Sheffield Hallam University intends to appoint Psychology Demonstrators on a three-year fixed term studentship from October 2022. Demonstrators undertake certain teaching assistant duties such as helping conduct psychology laboratories, in addition to working towards a PhD qualification. Students currently enrolled on a PhD programme are not eligible to apply.

We are particularly interested in supervising projects in the following areas, and preference will be given to applicants with an interest in developing research in one of these areas, although applications in other areas are also welcome:

• A whole system approach to physical activity in primary schools

• Exploring the links between attachment and mindfulness

• Protection from the flu: developing interventions to promote seasonal influenza vaccine uptake in clinically at risk and underserved populations using the Behaviour Change Wheel

• The productive use of grammatical markers by children with Developmental Language Disorder: a crosslinguistic study using elicitation and sentence repetition tasks

• Facial emotion recognition in visual art

• Transformative art: investigating whether stimulus change underpins aesthetic preferences

As a minimum, applicants should possess a 1st or 2.1 Honours degree in Psychology. A Masters degree in a relevant subject area would be an advantage.
