<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As part of the continued development of the School of Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, applications are invited from candidates who have a track record of
outstanding independent research, as evidenced by high quality publications in leading academic journals and have interests which extend the School’s existing research strengths.

<p class="MsoCommentText" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Research in the School of Psychology falls broadly into three themes: (1) Perception & Attention, (2) Cognition, and (3) Social Cognition. Although
each staff member is assigned to a single theme, there is extensive collaboration and overlap of interests within the School. The School houses state-of-the-art facilities to support world-leading research across these three themes, including extensive eye
tracking facilities (both lab-based and mobile), EEG systems, psychophysics laboratories and motion tracking facilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoCommentText" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We have a particular research expertise on the perceptual, cognitive and social dimensions of human behaviour, drawing on research across the
three themes. We are looking to build upon our existing strengths in this domain, with a goal to model mechanisms of human interaction through the application of behavioural science, artificial intelligence and neuroscience techniques. To achieve this goal,
we plan to expand the research techniques and approaches used within the School, particularly to encompass data science, machine learning, deep learning and computational modelling to advance psychological research. This expansion of research techniques will
also lead to the development of new initiatives in data science and artificial intelligence. Candidates who can contribute to this future direction of the School are strongly encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
