Research Assistant in Quantum Cognition

The Role

We are seeking a Research Assistant with experience in cognitive and behavioural testing of human participants in a psychology laboratory-based setting. This post will be based in the School of Psychology but will require working closely with colleagues in the School of Computing. Newcastle’s Quantum Cognition group, led by Dr Barbara-Anne Robertson (Psychology) and Dr Jonte Hance (Computing), has received funding from the UKRI Cross Research Council Responsive Mode: Quantum Emotions: Using the Quantum Formalism to explain temporal order effects in memory for emotional events. This project involves applying the quantum formalism to model experimental observations of human emotional memory performance and the neural systems that support it, to better understand both systems. As a member of a wider team using fMRI and physics models to explain behavioural results, you will play a role in contributing to the Quantum Cognition group by working closely with ...
