++About the Programme++
The University of Sussex has been awarded one of 12 Leverhulme Trust grants, totalling £1.05 million, to create a Doctoral Scholarship Programme entitled 'From Sensation and Perception to Awareness'. This brings together researchers and doctoral students from across neuroscience, robotics, psychology and the arts. The ultimate aim of this research programme is to advance our understanding of the interactions between sensing, perception, and awareness in humans, animals, and machines.

Our doctoral scholars will be immersed in an inter-disciplinary training environment including monthly seminars and an annual student-led conference on a topic related to the theme.  A strong  emphasis is placed on developing technical skills, and we will provide specialist training in areas such as programming and use of virtual and augmented reality. 

As part of this programme, Sussex will be providing fully-funded studentships for three cohorts of seven students. The first of these cohorts will start studying at Sussex in September 2018. Each successful applicant will receive a tax free stipend at Research Council rates (currently £14553 per annum), a Home/EU fee waiver and generous research and training costs. On completion of their PhD, our the programme alumni will be eligible to apply for one of several 12 month postdoctoral research fellowships at Sussex, available only to completing Leverhulme DSP scholars.

++Contacts++
Any questions concerning your chosen research project should be directed to the project supervisor, as listed on the project description (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/internal/doctoralschool/funding/sussexleverhulme).

Any questions relating to the Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship Programme, or the application process, can be sent to Dean Brooks, Doctoral School Coordinator, at [log in to unmask]
