We are looking for someone with energy and know-how in cognitive psychology

project that will apply cutting-edge research on perception to diagnose
certain medical conditions (particularly glaucoma).  The project will
involve the creative use of cognitive psychology in basic and applied
settings.  Experience in techniques of experimental perception and cognitive
psychology is required ‹ especially a solid working knowledge of
experimental design, programming (e-prime, c, or similar), and statistics.
Programming skills (including web platforms) are a definite asset.
Knowledge of glaucoma, clinical diagnoses, and business acumen would also be
helpful.  Applicants should have a PhD in Psychology, or a related field.

The work will be conducted with James Intriligator and Jane Raymond at the
Centre for Experimental Consumer Psychology and within the Cognitive
Research Group of Bangor¹s School of Psychology

of success in both teaching and research.  According to national
