Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

Salary range : £31,396 - £34,980 (Pro Rata)

FTE : 0.3 FTE

Term : Fixed Term until 28/02/26

Closing date : 27/10/2024

The Department of Psychological Sciences and Health is looking to recruit a Researcher Assistant (0.3FTE at Grade 6) to work on the project Agent-based Memory Prosthesis to Encourage Reminiscing (AMPER).

As a Researcher Assistant under the supervision and guidance of Professor Mario Alfredo Parra, you will play a key role within an interdisciplinary project funded by The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The project focuses on a user-centred design to create an embodied agent with a novel human-like autobiographical memory. You will help perform a carer-assisted intervention for personalised reminiscence (e.g., telling meaningful stories) to bring to the surface memories residing in the still viable regions of the brain. Autobiographical memory provides a reflection of “self”, enabling an individual to relive an event. By building a technological bridge to unique life experiences and aiding recollection, patients’ sense of value, importance, and belonging will be restored.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a Honour Degree in Psychology. You will work with vulnerable groups so experience or training in such skills are critical. Skills working within interdisciplinary teams, participating in interventions via healthcare technologies or other methodologies, and running quantitative and qualitative statistical analyses are highly desirable.

**The post is offered for a fixed term period, 01 January 2025 - 28 February 2026**

Formal interviews for this post will be held on 07/11/2024.
