This is an exciting opportunity to join a team, led by Prof. Sarah Garfinkel (UCL) and Prof. Camilla Nord (University of Cambridge). We are recruiting a postdoctoral research fellow to contribute to the development and running of a mindfulness clinical trial. This clinical trial will assess whether mindfulness may be efficacious for depression and anxiety through changes in interoception. This clinical trial will take place across both the UK (UCL, Cambridge) and Argentina. The postdoctoral research fellow will be primarily based at UCL while also working with the Cambridge and Argentinian sites. At the outset, this post will primarily involve trial and experimental design, ethics, data collection, and data-curation. Duration: The position is offered for 1 year for the first instance with the possibility of extension.
We are looking to recruit an individual with a PhD in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or a related discipline. An interest in and/or experience with clinical trials would be advantageous, as would an interest in psychophysiology, depression and anxiety research, interoception, and emotion. Expertise in programming (Python) would be desirable. In terms of personal characteristics, we are seeking someone who is committed and enthusiastic, and who works well in teams.
