Project Coordinator (Part Time, Fixed Term)

Applications are invited for a project coordinator to work in the Memory Laboratory at the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge (http://www.memlab.psychol.cam.ac.uk) on a project investigating the subjective experience of remembering. 

What does it feel like to have a memory? We know surprisingly little about how we can vividly relive past events, which functions of the brain are involved, and how these processes vary across individuals, societies and cultures. In this new project, scientists and humanities scholars will collaborate across disciplines to drive a step-change both in understanding memory vividness and the associated brain mechanisms across the life-course, and in enhancing the interpretation of vividness in literary and historical works dating back to the early modern era.

The project coordinator will have responsibility for day-to-day operations of the project, including budget monitoring, open access, reporting and administrative support. They will also coordinate participant recruitment, ensuring diversity and inclusion in our participant groups, and will help organise our planned impact activities and online engagement.

Applicants should have excellent organisational skills, be highly motivated, enjoy working in a vibrant collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment, and be able to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. 

The post is part-time (1.5 days per week) and available from 1 February 2025.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
