**Research Associate in Psychology**
The project you will be working on will examine social, cognitive, and cultural biases in computational social science (CSS). The CSS approach has become increasing popular in recent years given the availability of both powerful computing and large amounts of data collected about everyday human activities. Although CSS offers a novel way to address important questions in the social sciences, more research is needed to understand how biases can affect the approach.
The current project will take a multi-stage approach and the post-holder will be involved in each research stage. The post-holder will be primarily responsible for supporting the team in developing and conducting a series of experimental studies to examine the effect of cognitive bias on interpretation of computational-based decision making. A secondary responsibility will be helping to conduct a scoping review of the literature on cultural bias in CSS. For all research stages, the post-holder will support the team in the writing and dissemination of findings to the stakeholder.
- Be able to demonstrate ability to carry out high quality experimental research including literature reviews, data analysis, and report writing.
- Have excellent writing skills and attention to detail
- Be an excellent communicator and team player
- Ideally, also have some experience of conducting scoping or systematic reviews
This position is Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl)/ Ministry of Defence (MOD) funded.
