3 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Birkbeck, University of London Full time

We are offering a 3-year fully funded PhD position in developmental psychology at the Physical Cognition Lab, Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development (CBCD), at Birkbeck University.

The CBCD is a world-leading international research centre exploring the links between brain and behavioural development. We use behavioural testing and brain imaging methods to further our understanding and contribute to the field. We are part of Birkbeck, University of London, a world-renowned institution. www.cbcd.bbk.ac.uk

The PhD position will include;

  • working in the newly developed Toddlerlab: a dedicated 5-story research facility developed for studying toddler and preschool development in naturalistic environments.
  • working in the CAVE virtual reality lab for young children, all fitted with motion capture, head-mounded eye-tracking and wearable EEG and fNIRS.

The work in the Physical Cognition lab reflects a unique integration of theory and methods drawn from developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, where we use state-of-the-art concepts and technologies to discover the developmental interplay between brain and behaviour.

We are looking for a candidate with:-

  • high-motivation and a strong background in experimental psychology and programming skills
  • desire to make an impact at the intersection of developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence
  • evidence of outstanding undergraduate academic performance and a strong Master’s (or predicted) degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or any cognate field
  • solid foundations in academic writing and presenting, independence in organising aspects of their research (e.g. through a previous dissertation if not publications).

Further details about the project www.cbcd.bbk.ac.uk/node/430 or please contact: Dr Ori Ossmy (ori.ossmy@bbk.ac.uk). Closing date is 1 May 2024.
