    Research Associate - Cardiff, United Kingdom - Cardiff University

    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description


    A position is available for a Research Associate 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 University, Bristol University and Exeter University 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 Cardiff, Bristol 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 conduct data analysis and manuscript preparation. You will also 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 PhD in Psychology or a related subject.

    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 and is fixed term until 3 September 2026.



    Salary:
    £39,347 - £44,263 per annum (Grade 6)

    Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave (incl bank holidays), local pension scheme and more.

    Monday, 10 June 2024
