About this position
The Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development (CBCD) at Birkbeck, University of London, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to lead work on a Wellcome Trust-funded longitudinal study of sensory processing and responsivity in young children.
Directed by Dr Virginia Carter Leno, the project investigates sensory processing across early development, including work with toddlers who are neurodivergent. The researcher will contribute to the wider research team and collaborate with an existing postdoctoral researcher.
The role includes supporting ongoing Wave 2 testing and leading the analysis of Wave 1 timepoint data. The research environment combines developmental experimental psychology with behavioural assessment, eye-tracking and integrated virtual reality (VR)-fNIRS methods. The post is based within the CBCD and the School of Psychological Sciences in Bloomsbury, London.
