PhD and MPhil Studentships

The ARC welcomes applications from prospective PhD and MPhil students who wish to pursue a research degree in the field of autism spectrum conditions. Currently we are particularly interested to hear from people whose interests centre on biomedical aspects, or who wish to extend any of the projects already underway in the ARC. Applicants are welcome to email Professor Simon Baron-Cohen directly with a brief research proposal and and CV. Places are only awarded following an interview in Cambridge, and after a formal application to the Board of Graduate Studies. Funding in the form of doctoral studentships is available competitively via either the Department of Experimental Psychology or Psychiatry, and applicants are also encouraged to apply for their own funding from interested charitable or governmental bodies.


Postdoctoral Scientists

The ARC welcomes applicants from postdoctoral scientists in the field of biomedical and cognitive neuroscience aspects of autism spectrum conditions. Applicants should email Professor Simon Baron-Cohen directly with a research proposal, and should also consider applying to relevant charities or governmental bodies for grant support.
