We are seeking to recruit two Research Assistant(s)/Research Associate(s) to work in the
Centre for Social Interactions within the Research Institute of Neuroscience &
Psychology at the University of Glasgow.
The post-holder will contribute to a 5 year, ERC-funded project on "How do humans
recognise kin?" working with Dr Lisa DeBruine (as well as Prof Ben Jones). The
researchers selected for these posts will design, conduct and analyse research to
investigate the factors that influence kin-directed social and sexual behaviour. The
researchers will also write and communicate results as scientific papers and in scientific
presentations at national and international conferences. The project is multidisciplinary,
involving theory and techniques from psychology, evolutionary biology, experimental
economics, and computer graphics.
Applicants should have (or expect to receive in the near future) a PhD in psychology,
biology, biological anthropology, neuroscience, computer science or another relevant
discipline, with a strong analytical background. Applicants will have experience with at
least one of the following techniques: facial electromyography (EMG), genetic analysis
(MHC), 3D face imaging, experimental social psychology, online data collection, or
behavioural economics. Experience with Bayesian or cue integration modelling would be an
advantage. Any applicant should have a clear, demonstrable capacity for acquiring
expertise in these techniques.
The post is available from the 1st October 2015 and has funding for up to 5 years.
Applications close on 13 September 2015.
Salary: Grade 6, £27,057-£30,434 / Grade 7, £33,242 – £37,394 per annum
