Clayton, Australia Monash University Full time

**The Opportunity**

This PhD scholarship is funded as an important part of an ARC funded project (The Dreamscape Project: Phenomenology and Neurophysiology of Dreams), conducted by Dr Jennifer Windt, Professor Naotsugu Tsuchiya, and Dr Thomas Andrillon.

The Dreamscape Project aims to discover the neural basis of dreaming. Building on the world’s largest database of sleep electroencephalograms (EEG) and associated dream reports, the project applies cutting-edge analyses of neural activity to resolve why each night, healthy adults alternate between unconscious sleep and vivid dreams. The results promise to shed light on the mystery of dreaming and help locate consciousness in the physical world.

Monash University is the largest university in Australia and regularly ranks in the top 100 universities worldwide. Monash has six globally networked campuses and international alliances in Europe and Asia. The applicant will be based at the Clayton campus in Melbourne. We have a strong and supportive research culture, led by internationally recognised scholars successful in attracting national and international competitive funding.

The successful applicant will have an excellent academic track record in philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience, and/or psychology, especially on topics related to sleep, dreaming, and first-person reports. Competence in both quantitative and qualitative research methods as well as experience programing psychological tasks and data analysis are highly desirable.

In its assessment, the selection committee will prioritise applicants who hold an Australian (or equivalent international) Honour’s or Master’s degree (both in a relevant field), with a significant research component and with first-class honours/H1 awarded.

Scholarship holders must be enrolled full-time and on campus. Please note: applicants who already hold a PhD will not be considered.

The successful applicant will be expected to enrol by **September 2024**. However, there may be some flexibility as to the date of commencement.

**Submit an Expression of Interest**

EOIs shall comprise:

- A cover letter that includes a brief statement of the applicant’s suitability
- A brief research proposal not exceeding 1000 words in length that fits within the broad project aims and objectives, and demonstrates some understanding of the area of research
- A curriculum vitae, including a list of any published works, conference presentations and relevant work experience
- A full statement of academic records, degree certificates and official grading system (if available), supported by scanned copies of relevant certified documentation
- English language proficiency test results (if applicable)
- Names and contact details of 2 academic referees
