The Social Decision Lab? Our lab studies uses many methods in your training and our research interests are diverse. We have a wonderful collaborative neuroscience network, two research MRI scanners with funded PhD MRI scanning slots often available, and dedicated behavioural and pharmacological testing space. We have psychophysiology, EEG, eyetracking, and TMS facilities.  Our school ranks high in UK research universities with particularly strong ratings on impact.  Our university-wide network includes world leaders in the study of international development, consciousness, memory, attention, learning, interoception, addiction and clinical research. Brighton is a wonderful, dynamic, progressive and colourful city to spend your graduate training nestled between the sea and the countryside (and 50 minutes on a train from the centre of London if you want it). 

All PhD graduates from the Social Decision Lab have gone on to work in postdoctoral positions in prestigious institutions or obtained independent fellowships.
