Sweden: PhD position in psychology at the Department of Psychology, Uppsala University

Overview

We hereby announce a Ph D position as a graduate student in development psychology, The position is tied to Cecilia Wåhlstedt’s research project within the field of developmental psychology. The aim is to study how the neuropsychological impairments in children with ADHD symptoms will change with development. Besides this, children with ADHD symptoms that do not exhibit neuropsychological impairments are studied, to be able to detect the possible factors underlying ADHD symptoms in these children. These studies have a longitudinal design and two existing non-clinical samples will be studied where children with high levels of ADHD symptoms have been oversampled. The research within the project is conducted by using existing materials and through the continuous collection of new neuropsychological data and behavioral ratings.

Eligible Candidates:

The applicant should have a university exam majoring in psychology. Previous experience of neuropsychological testing in children is desirable. Good skills in both Swedish and English are required in the project.


Selection Criteria

The selection will be based on an assessment of the applicant’s aptitude for successful completion of graduate studies, made by the professors at the department. The bases for this judgment are the previously written research thesis, interviews (if deemed necessary), and finally, the plan for a research project.
