At the end of
the 2010/11 academic year, I retired from my full-time post. I am
continuing to serve
the University in a part-time capacity, and in the current year this
will include teaching on
- ABH3206
Comparative
Cognition
Although I have no formal allocation of project supervision, I am
always willing to discuss the possibility of supervising projects with
final year undergraduates or MSc students. I will only take on
projects that are close to my own research interests.
|
In the past, I
have served as
- Head of the Department of Psychology (1983-1988),
- Dean
of the Faculty of Science (1993-1996),
- Deputy Vice-Chancellor
(2000-2003) and
- Head of the School of Psychology (2005-2010).
Since I
have now retired from my full-time post, I will not be undertaking
any further administrative duties in the university.
Animal Behaviour Research Seminars this year are being organized by
John Skelhorn - for details contact him at j.p.skelhorn [at]
