*ICEA MSc *

What makes us human? What makes culture possible? The University of
Oxford's new Institute for Cognitive & Evolutionary Anthropology announces a
new 12 month MSc degree to commence in October 2007. This program in "Human
Biology" explores human thought, behaviour, and culture from the
perspectives of the evolutionary and cognitive sciences. Degree candidates
will read in primate behavioral ecology, human evolution (with a behavioral
ecology emphasis), mind and culture, and quantitative methods in the human
sciences; and complete a supervised 10,000 word dissertation. Program staff
includes Professor Robin Dunbar, Professor Harvey Whitehouse, and Dr. Justin
Barrett. Additional information about the course and how to apply is
available at http://www.isca.ox.ac.uk/admissions/how_to_apply.shtml.
  Applications for the 2007-2008 year will be accepted until July 26, 2007.

*ICEA DPhil *

How can cognitive or evolutionary insights help explain patterns in cultural
expression? The University of Oxford's new Institute for Cognitive &
Evolutionary Anthropology announces a new 3 year DPhil degree to commence in
October 2007. This research program offers the opportunity to explore human
thought, behaviour, and culture from the perspectives of the evolutionary
and cognitive sciences. Those who already have an appropriate graduate
degree in a related area (e.g., experimental psychology, anthropology,
evolution) may apply as Probationer Research Students (PRS) in the first
instance; they may nonetheless subsequently be advised that one of the
master's degrees may be more suitable for them to start with. Program staff
includes Professor Robin Dunbar, Professor Harvey Whitehouse, and Dr. Justin
Barrett. Additional information about how to apply is available at
http://www.isca.ox.ac.uk/admissions/how_to_apply.shtml. Applications for
the 2007-2008 year will be accepted until July 26, 2007.
