**Senior Research Associate in Psychology**
The Department of Psychology at Lancaster University is seeking to appoint **a full-time Senior Research Associate, **to work with Dr Tom Beesley. The position is full-time and funded for three years.
This position is funded by a new ESRC grant titled “Known Unknowns and Unknown Unknowns: Coping with Different States of Uncertainty in a Changing World”. This project, run in collaboration with the University of Nottingham, aims to examine the way in which the cognitive system copes with different uncertain situations. The starting point for this work is to conceptualise different uncertain situations as either "expected" or "unexpected". Sometimes we can provide a good estimate of the uncertainty we might face (expected uncertainty), but in other cases, the uncertainty occurs out of the blue (unexpected uncertainty).
**ABOUT YOU**
- Be able to demonstrate a passion for research in cognitive psychology
- Have experience of participant recruitment and data collection in a research setting
- Have experience of writing computer programs for psychological research in a relevant language (e.g., R, Python).
- Have a desire to develop their own skills and experience
- Have excellent communication and organisational skills
- Be able to support other researchers within the wider research group.
- Play an active role in the research community within the department.
**THE BENEFITS OF THE ROLE**
- You will play an important role in a multi-institutional project, with opportunities to attend conferences.
- Generous holiday leave - 25 days (pro-rata) annual leave plus University closure days and bank holidays.
- Access to employee pension scheme, and annual flexible benefits scheme.
- We are committed to promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion across the Faculty, and supporting family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis. The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze Award, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in Higher Education and research.
**This role is funded for 3 years, with an expected end date of December 2025.
