The Post
A cross-disciplinary team of researchers led by the University of Stirling with partners at the University of Burgundy (France), Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (Germany), Charles University (Czech Republic), and the University of Wroclaw (Poland) are working together on a Wellcome Trust-funded project, Olfactory communication in the first weeks of life: from chemical mechanisms to improving breastfeeding outcomes, to investigate how odour shapes mother-infant communication. The project aims to develop new insights into maternal-infant interaction that can aid breastfeeding initiation and maintenance.
As part of this project, Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences is offering a part-time Research Assistant position. You will work with Professor Craig Roberts, Professor Viv Swanson, and Dr Dimitrios Kourtis to coordinate the overall running of the project on a day-to-day basis to facilitate the successful delivery of the £3.5M project. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to the project by conducting your own research project (in a relevant area, by agreement within the team) under the supervision of one of the project team. The post is fixed term (36 months) but may be extendable beyond this period.
