	Johannus J. Bolhuis obtained his PhD in Zoology (cum laude) at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, UK. He was Associate Professor at the Institute of Biology, Leiden University, The Netherlands. He was appointed full professor of behavioural biology at Utrecht University in 2001, the same year that he received the Dutch Zoology Prize. In 2012 he was appointed as professor of Cognitive Neurobiology in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Utrecht University. Currently he is Visiting Scholar at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. He has served as an Editor of Animal Behaviour and president of the Royal Dutch Zoological Society, is Editor of Behavioural Processes, and Academic Editor of PLoS One, and Scientific Reports. Professor Bolhuis' main research interests are in the behavioural, neural and cognitive mechanisms of learning, memory and development.
