An ideal candidate would have demonstrable experience of reviewing, conducting, analysing, and interpreting studies involving a variety of (human) participants. This should include working independently to prepare experimental tasks, recruiting for and carrying out heterogeneous participant samples, and using a range of statistical techniques for data analysis. High levels of motivation and organization and the capacity to work flexibly, including at locations across the UK, will be necessary.
