audio-visual environment integrated with motion-tracking, EEG, NIRS and
eye-tracking.  We are looking for a senior research officer to help develop

technical service that proactively supports and contributes to research
excellence; undertaking research for pilot projects leading to grant
applications and project work leading to publications.  You will be
responsible for coordinating different remote sensing technologies
monitoring toddler behaviours and brain activity within the CAVE
environment. You will work collaboratively as part of the research team to
provide training, support and cover across CBCD for research laboratory
facilities for academics, students and other service users.

Birkbeck's CBCD incorporates a group of researchers studying brain and
psychological development in typically and atypically developing babies,
toddlers and children, using behavioural testing, motion capture,
eye-tracking and brain imaging methods (eg. EEG, fNIRS). The Centre
