I’m always interested in hearing from postdoctoral researchers or PhD students to join the lab. I am happy to support trainees who want to work on topics such the brain basis of DLD, dyslexia, or neurodevelopmental disorders of speech and language, as well as reward and motivation or decision making in the domains of reading and language. There are a number of funding opportunities for which we could develop applications, I’ve listed the main ones of interest to UCL applicants. Please feel free to email Saloni to discuss these or other opportunities!

Postdoctoral opportunities

  • The ESRC UBEL DTP offers postdoctoral fellowships to students who have trained in a university affiliated to an ESRC DTP
  • There are postdoctoral fellowships offered by the British Academy, the Wellcome Trust, ESRC and MRC.
  • The Affective Brain Lab also maintains a list of postdoctoral fellowships: click here

PhD studentships

  • UCL is a member of the UBEL DTP, and strong students in the ESRC remit are encouraged to apply for these studentships. In addition, there are studentships offered by the department, which typically involve some teaching. Both these routes involve an initial application to the department.
  • UCL is also a member of the BBSRC LiDO DTP – students interested in this route need to apply to LiDO directly.
  • A number of charities and organisations offer independent PhD funding, for example, the Baily Thomas Charitable Fund or the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds
  • If you are an international student, you may be able to apply for funding from your country, e.g. the Commonwealth Studentships
