The School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences is seeking to

We are seeking to recruit a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in

This collaborative project will run concurrently in Edinburgh (UK Principal

Sundaresan).

The ideal candidate will be adept at working both independently and as part of
a large international team, and will also have expertise in collecting and
