  • Guide and support Associates, helping them grow as researchers.
• Learn to design and run experiments
  • Work with the Principal Investigators to turn research questions into well-designed experiments.
  • Programme studies, run them with participants and analyse the results.
  • Build the skills to design and lead their own studies.
• Contribute to academic papers
  • Help prepare papers for peer review, including data, analysis and figures.
  • Document work clearly so that others can check it and build on it.
• Open the lab to the curious
  • Help plan public lectures and discussions on behavioural and cognitive science.
  • Welcome anyone who is curious, whether or not they have a science background.
