Applications are invited for a full-time Research Associate position in the School of Psychology, working in Tim Jordan's laboratory investigating the role of basic visual cues in written word recognition and reading.  The project is part of a programme of investigations in human perception and cognition which aim to delineate the processes involved in word recognition and reading from early visual processing to lexical access.

 

The successful applicant will join a supportive, well-equipped and well-funded laboratory using a wide range of techniques to study fundamental issues in word recognition.  The postholder will also have a strong desire to develop their career further in scientific research and, with appropriate guidance, will become involved in all aspects of the research, including publications in leading international journals.

 

Applicants should have (or be in a position to obtain) a postgraduate qualification in psychology, visual science, neuroscience, computer science, or other relevant discipline, and have experience in visual or cognitive research and proven skills in the computational control of visual displays (e.g., using C++, Delphi, CRS VSG systems).  Starting salary will be £22111-£25633 (with annual increments), depending on qualifications and experience.  Starting date is as soon as possible but negotiable.
