    Description

    A position is available for a Research Assistant to work in the Neuroscience and Mental Health Innovation Institute at Cardiff University.

    Based at the University's flagship Hadyn Ellis Building, you will be part of a team of researchers at Cardiff, Bristol and Exeter Universities working on a groundbreaking and innovative Welcome Trust funded grant entitled 'The Sleep Detectives:
    Sleep stratification in young people at high risk of psychosis'

    How can sleep measurements inform interventions for children at high risk of psychosis? Evidence links sleep to both cognitive function and psychosis risk.

    However, the details of when and how sleep impacts cognition and psychosis risk remain unclear.

    In this study, a multidisciplinary team spanning Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter will evaluate if sleep can be used to determine personalised care for children and young people at a genetically high risk of psychosis.

    To do this, you will collect longitudinal measures of sleep behaviour and neurophysiology (including wearable technology, such as EEG headbands and actiwatches, and app-based metrics), as well as cognitive and clinical assessments.

    You will work together with the children and their families to test and validate graded measures of sleep and cognition.


    You will conduct psychiatric interviews, assess neurocognitive function and obtain blood and saliva samples from participants.

    You will be required to travel UK-wide (expenses will be provided) to assess patients in their own homes which will require overnight stays and work outside of normal office hours.


    You should have a degree in Psychology or a related subject at 2:1 or higher.

    Experience of working with children/ adolescents who have a history of mental illness and/ or neurodevelopmental disorders is highly desirable.


    For informal enquiries please contact Professor Marianne Van Den Bree )

    This post is full time (35 hours per week), available immediately from and is fixed term until 3rd September 2026.
