Brighton, United Kingdom University of Sussex Full time

The project is funded by a BIAL Foundation grant awarded to Dr Sophie Forster. The post-holder will join the Sussex Attention Lab, which uses cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience techniques to study attention, with a particular focus on involuntary attentional phenomena common to daily life (e.g. distraction from our own irrelevant thoughts).

The project will take place at the University of Sussex, using the on campus EEG facilities within the School of Psychology. The post-holder will join the highly collaborative and interdisciplinary Sussex Neuroscience research community, which includes over 50 research groups, forming one of the highest densities of Neuroscience faculty in any UK University.

The post-holder will support Dr Forster in the day-to-day running of the project, including participant recruitment, data collection and management, and analysis.

The post is likely to be of most interest to applicants with research interests in the related fields of attention, mind wandering and perception (particularly vision). The post-holder should have experience in the acquisition and analysis of experimental data in neuroscience or psychology. Experience of EEG data acquisition is essential.
