(apologize for cross-posting) Applications are invited for a Wellcome Trust funded Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. Please follow this link <https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=0224-053> to apply by 29-Feb-2024. The position is formally within the SoCCR Lab (Social Computation and Cognitive Representation Lab <https://joebarnby.com/>) directed by Dr. Joseph M Barnby, which develops and tests computational and formal theories of social interaction in health and disorder. The fellow will also be working closely with the three Co-Is: Drs Alex Pike <https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academicstaff/pike,-alex/> and Catia Oliveira (University of York) and Dr Lei Zhang <https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/psychology/zhang-lei> (University of Birmingham). The post holder will be a member of this lab with responsibility for the provision of computational support for a Wellcome Trust-funded project, “Hypatia: Health Modelling Made Simple”. The position offers an exciting opportunity to develop and use state-of-the-art methods to build a free browser-based solution to allow simulation and fitting of common computational models, with the final milestone of 12 months to have a working beta version. The role will primarily involve software engineering/programming the Hypatia site, retaining a core knowledge of computational modelling as it relates to health care, neuroscience, and psychology, and liaising with project consultants to develop the UX/UI, backend support, and aesthetics of the platform. There is significant opportunity for skill development, including gaining experience of industry liaison, translational neuroscience, and computational modelling expertise. The project team will consist of a dedicated postdoctoral researcher and research assistant. The team will also present to and be guided by an advisory board, which includes Prof. Peter Dayan (Tuebingen), Dr Emma Černis (University of Birmingham), Dr Rick Adams (UCL), Prof Eric-Jan Wagenmakers (Amsterdam; JASP team), and Dr Jenny Murphy (Royal Holloway).
