Research Assistant

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The Faculty of Health works collaboratively across a range of health disciplines to meet the demands of health and the community. We work closely with a wide range of both public and private sector organisations to ensure our students have the knowledge, skills and experience to meet the demands of the increasingly challenging health sector.

The School of Psychology provides unique opportunities for students to gain knowledge across different fields within psychology and has a broad and varied range of taught programmes. The school is involved in extensive research and collaborates with academics in every continent across the world.

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to work on a project funded by the Defence and Science Research Laboratory (DSTL). This project is concerned with the development of collaborative Brain-Computer Interfaces (cBCI) to support decision-making in the context of defence and security. This project is being jointly conducted by LJMU and University of Essex. The role requires the successful candidate to have experience of data collection and analysis using neuro- and psycho-physiological measures in an experimental context. This role requires the researcher to support academic staff in the creation of task simulation, experimental design, data collection and analysis. They may also contribute to collaborative meetings with project partners and preparation of manuscripts for publication.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join LJMU in our bicentenary year and with the launch of our new strategic plan.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

LJMU values diversity and provides a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can fulfil their potential.
