The successful candidate will work as a Postdoctoral Research Associate on the AHRC & FNR funded project ‘The Role of Cognitive Experience in Decision and Action’ under the supervision of Dr Laura Gow (PI) and Dr Robin McKenna (Co-I).
The project aims to deliver a new explanation of belief-discordant behaviour - situations where we fail to act in accordance with what we believe. Our hypothesis is that cognitive experience plays a vital role in our everyday actions and decisions. We propose that our beliefs need to ‘seem true’ to us if they are to play a role in our everyday behaviour. Having a belief seem true involves cognitive phenomenology; experientially taking a belief to be true when we first acquire it and if we later entertain it in thought. (For example, whereas the belief that grass is green seems true, the belief that solid objects are mostly empty space does not). The post is available from 1st September 2025 until 31st August 2028.
If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
