The Department of Psychology is seeking a Research Assistant to work on a funded project “The Veritas Study: Do individual differences in theory of mind, emotional intelligence and cognitive functioning predict accuracy in detecting deception?”
This project will investigate whether performance on tasks of:

contribute to someone’s ability to discriminate lies from truth in real-life, high-stakes situations.
The successful candidate will be employing a variety of recruitment methods to reach recruitment targets within the project’s timeframe, managing and running individual testing sessions, and managing the data with confidentiality and integrity.
Applicants are expected to have (or be close to finishing) a Master’s degree in Psychology or a related discipline and have relevant research experience.
The post will be situated in the Department of Psychology, which is a vibrant and friendly workplace. The Department prides itself on an active research environment, which complements its strengths in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. The research in the Department spans a number of areas, notably research into recognition of emotion, understanding social behaviour, cognitive functioning using experimental methods, forensic psychology, developmental and educational psychology, and health psychology.
Please send any queries to the Principal Investigator of The Veritas Study to Dr Suzanne Stewart at s.stewart@chester.ac.uk or 01244 511 680.
