Description:
Are you enthusiastic about experimental psychopathopology/Computational Psychiatry, advanced quantitative methods and research with clinical impact? Then this PhD position may be a good fit for you.
In this project we will investigate how individual differences in cognitive mechanisms needed for learning from therapy predict success of psychotherapy for depression. Our goal is to optimise treatments for depression by matching individuals to specific therapeutic procedures based on individual learning capacities of depressed people between 18-25 years of age.
