Overview
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship to investigate internet-based group work and the implications for e-learning. The project will adopt a quantitative approach (using both experimental and field studies) and will involve design and investigation of theory-led interventions to support group processes in online environments.
The project will be jointly supervised by Dr. Paul Rogers and Dr. John Charlton, and the student will join the Computer and Cyberpsychology Research Group based at the University of Bolton (see www.bolton.ac.uk/UBCCRU).
Amount awarded
This full-time, three-year studentship will cover the cost of PhD fees at the Home/European rate of £3,460 (subject to confirmation) and a tax-free bursary of £13,590 starting in October 2010. International students are welcome to apply but must fund the difference between EU/UK fees and international fees.
Eligible candidates
Applicants should possess a minimum of a 2:i BSc (Hons) degree or a Masters degree in Psychology (or equivalents). Well developed skills in statistical analysis and interests in social psychology and experimental psychology are desirable.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr. Paul Rogers (p.rogers@bolton.ac.uk).
