Undergraduate students

Interested in undergraduate research? Please email Dr. Dieter Vanderelst with the following: a statement of your research interests, a resume or CV, and your weekly availability.

Graduate students

Psychology and Biology doctoral programs Doctoral students in UC's Psychology or Biology graduate programs are admitted with a guarantee of financial support for five years. This enables our graduate students to focus intensively on their education, research, and career development.

UC connections We are part of the Biological Sciences’ faculty cluster in Sensory Biology, Behavior, and Evolution. Also, we are embedded within the research theme of Action and Perception in the faculty of Psychology. Finally, we have strong ties with faculty with overlapping interests in the school of Engineering. As such, we are part of a highly interactive community of researchers at UC. Also, have a look at the list of collaborators. I would be happy to discuss multidisciplinary projects drawing on the strengths of multiple labs.
