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.
