About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to conduct research on how a 4 day working week changes mind, brain, and body. You will collect and analyse data from employees switching to a 4 day working week. The research is part of the £1.6m Future Leaders Fellowship project led by Dr Charlotte Rae and funded by UK Research and Innovation.
You will join a group of researchers investigating how our working lives interact with wellbeing at the Adaptive Behavioural Control Lab at the University of Sussex. Your role will involve collecting questionnaire, actigraphy, blood sample, and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, and creating analytical pipelines to analyse these data in R and python. You will also contribute to writing pre-registration analysis plans, and writing up the studies for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
About you
You will have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, and be experienced in collecting task and resting-state fMRI data from members of the general public. You will also have experience processing blood samples for collection and storing of serum, and experience collecting online questionnaire data using Qualtrics survey software. You will be comfortable programming analysis pipelines for fMRI data in python, and for quantitative statistical analysis in R. You will be capable of writing up cognitive neuroscience studies for publication in peer-reviewed journals. You will be a quick learner, and have a friendly and amenable manner for working with participants and colleagues.
