Background

Drs Kielan Yarrow and Elliot Freeman from the Department of Psychology seek a post-doctoral Research Fellow with expertise running and analysing EEG and psychophysical experiments. Under their supervision, you will take the lead role in delivering a three-year programme of research funded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) / the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). 

Responsibilities

The project involves implementing a series of EEG and behavioural experiments in which participants will make judgments about the sequencing of brief sensory events that occur close together in time. You will have hands-on responsibility for all aspects of the research process, from pre-registering the designs and seeking ethical approval, through to data collection and analysis.

Person Specification

With a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience or a related field, the successful candidate will have experience running and analysing studies that combine EEG and behavioural measures. We require the knowledge and skills accruing from such a PhD journey, such as use of modern software, and how to operationalise theoretical knowledge about testing hypotheses via good experimental design and data analysis to create a successful research project. The ideal candidate will have a profile of skills and experience that already matches the project requirements.
