Dr Charlotte Rae is looking for 2 postdoctoral researchers to study how a 4 day working week changes mind, brain, and body, at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK.
Our lab investigates how our working lives interact with wellbeing, using occupational psychology, lifestyle and mental health assessments, and MRI brain scanning. More information about the lab can be found at: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/psychology/abc-lab, and on our Sussex 4 day week project website: www.sussex4dayweek.co.uk.
There are 2 postdoc positions available to start from April 2024, both initially for 3 years. One postdoc role is focused on analysing functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, including integrating fMRI with lifestyle and wellbeing variables: https://jobs.sussex.ac.uk/job/771a64ef-f387-4e71-a80a-534f509b4912
The second postdoc role is focused on analysing mental health, lifestyle (e.g. sleep), and occupational psychology data, as well as inflammatory cytokines from blood samples:

As well as utilising data from trials of the 4 day working week, the research will use data from the UK Biobank to investigate how time spent at work influences brain function, mental health, and physical health. The research is part of a £1.6m Future Leaders Fellowship project led by Dr Charlotte Rae and funded by UKRI.
Informal enquiries are most welcome: please contact Dr Charlotte Rae ([log in to unmask]).
Closing date: 9 February
