We have an exciting opportunity for two Postdoctoral Research Associates with a PhD (or nearing completion) in Psychology (or a related field) to co-lead one of two research projects at the Cardiff Babylab. <br>
<br>
The first project, which is funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship awarded to Dr Hana D’Souza, will focus on studying the everyday learning opportunities of young children with and without Down syndrome. <br>
<br>
The second project, which is funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship awarded to Dr Dean D’Souza, will focus on using naturalistic and experimental methods to understand how typically developing infants adapt to bilingual environments. <br>
<br>
Both projects will primarily be carried out in participants’ homes using head-mounted cameras to record the children’s visual and auditory experiences. <br>
<br>
Additionally, the first project will use eye tracking technology and the second project will use neuroimaging. <br>
<br>
Each post holder will join and co-lead a large team with a diverse range of responsibilities, including research design, participant recruitment, data curation, data sharing, data analysis, and dissemination of results (including manuscript preparation and
conference presentations). Training and support will be provided as required.<br>
<br>
These positions are particularly suited for those aiming to pursue an independent career in developmental science.<br>
<br>
<u>Research Environment</u><br>
The successful candidates will be based at the Cardiff Babylab in the Cardiff University Centre for Human Developmental Science (CUCHDS). CUCHDS houses some of the most advanced equipment for infant research, including state-of-the-art eye tracking, functional
near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and magnetoencephalography with optically pumped magnetometers (OPM-MEG). The candidates may also be affiliated with the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC), which is one of the largest and technologically
most advanced imaging centres in Europe. Both CUCHDS and CUBRIC are part of the School of Psychology at Cardiff. The School is one of the strongest in the UK for world-leading research in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience – e.g., it is ranked 6th in
the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).<br>
<br>
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply.<br>
<br>
In your personal statement, please indicate whether you want to be considered for the first, second, or both projects. Your preference will not impact on the selection process. <br>
<br>
These positions are full-time, 35 hours per week and fixed term for 2 years.<br>
