This role will focus on exploring the use of Targeted Memory Reactivation in sleep to alleviate Depression. This role requires flexibility to work in a hybrid environment, combining home-based work with onsite laboratory activities. Some laboratory experiments may require overnight attendance. During the course of this role you may have the opportunity to apply for a PhD.

This project is funded by the Wellcome Trust on a multi center grant lead by Penny Lewis, who specializes in the study of what sleep does to our memories, and is based at the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC).

Cardiff University’s Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) is one of the best equipped neuroscience institutes in Europe, housing 3 MRI scanners, including a 7T and a Connectom scanner, a MEG, EEG labs, a brain stimulation lab, and of course the state of the art sleep lab. The Welsh National Center for Mental Health. is situated next door to the building which enables us to work closely with them. The Neuroscience and Psychology of Sleep (NaPS) group is housed within CUBRIC, and conducts world-leading research on the impacts of sleep on cognitive processes.

For informal enquiries, please contact Penny Lewis: lewisp8@cardiff.ac.uk (please put title Sleep Engineering job in the email subject)

This position is part-time (24.5 hours per week), and is fixed term until 31st May 2029.

Secondment opportunity welcome - please note for Cardiff University members of staff interested in this post on a secondment basis, permission will need to be sought from your current Line Manager before applying.

Salary: £33,951 - £36,636 per annum, pro-rata (Grade 5).
Please be aware that appointments to roles at Cardiff University are usually made at bottom of scale unless in exceptional circumstances.

Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave pro rata (including Bank Holidays), local pension scheme, a cycle to work scheme and other travel initiatives, annual increments within the pay scale, and more. It is an exciting and vibrant place to work, with many different challenges and is a proud Living Wage supporter.

Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds. We therefore welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We especially welcome and encourage applications from those from under-represented groups within the University workforce, such as those who identify as LGBT +, Ethnic Minority or those with disabilities. In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.

Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.

Cardiff University is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which means that in hiring and promotion decisions we will evaluate applicants on the quality of their research, not publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which the research is published.

Bydd y rôl hon yn canolbwyntio ar archwilio'r defnydd o dechnegau Ailysgogi'r Cof mewn ffordd wedi'i Dargedu (TMR) mewn cwsg i leddfu Iselder. Mae'r rôl hon yn gofyn am hyblygrwydd i weithio mewn amgylchedd hybrid, gan gyfuno gwaith o'r cartref â gweithgareddau labordy ar y safle. Gall rhai arbrofion labordy olygu bod angen bod yn bresennol dros nos. Yn ystod y swydd hon, efallai y cewch y cyfle i wneud cais i ddilyn PhD

Ariennir y prosiect gan Ymddiriedolaeth Wellcome gyda grant aml-ganolfan dan arweiniad Penny Lewis, sy’n arbenigo mewn astudio’r hyn y mae cwsg yn ei wneud i’n hatgofion, ac mae wedi’i leoli yng Nghanolfan Delweddu Ymchwil yr Ymennydd Prifysgol Caerdydd (CUBRIC).

Canolfan Delweddu Ymchwil yr Ymennydd Prifysgol Caerdydd (CUBRIC) yw un o’r sefydliadau niwrowyddoniaeth â’r offer gorau yn Ewrop, gyda 3 sganiwr MRI, gan gynnwys sganiwr 7T a Connectom, MEG, labordai EEG, labordy ysgogi’r ymennydd, ac wrth gwrs y labordy blaengar ar gwsg. Mae Canolfan Genedlaethol Iechyd Meddwl Cymru wedi'i lleoli drws nesaf i'r adeilad sy'n ein galluogi i weithio'n agos gyda nhw. Mae’r grŵp Niwrowyddoniaeth a Seicoleg Cwsg (NaPS) wedi’i leoli yn CUBRIC, ac mae’n cynnal ymchwil sy’n arwain y byd ar effeithiau cwsg ar brosesau gwybyddol.

Swydd amser llawn yw hon (24.5 awr yr wythnos) am gyfnod penodol tan 31 Mai 2029.

Croesewir ceisiadau am secondiad – os ydych yn aelod o staff Prifysgol Caerdydd sydd â diddordeb yn y swydd hon ar sail secondiad, bydd yn rhaid i chi sicrhau caniatâd gan eich Rheolwr Llinell presennol cyn gwneud cais.


Cyflog: £33,951 – £36,636 y flwyddyn, pro-rata (Gradd 5).
Ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, bydd unigolion fel arfer yn dechrau ar waelod y raddfa gyflog, ac eithrio o dan amgylchiadau eithriadol.

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd yn cynnig llawer o fanteision rhagorol, gan gynnwys 45 diwrnod o wyliau blynyddol pro rata (yn cynnwys gwyliau banc), cynllun pensiwn lleol, cynllun beicio i'r gwaith a mentrau teithio eraill, cynyddrannau blynyddol o fewn y raddfa gyflog, a mwy. Dyma le cyffrous a bywiog i weithio lle ceir llawer o heriau gwahanol ac rydym yn falch o gefnogi’r Cyflog Byw.

Dyddiad hysbysebu: Dydd Gwener, 16 Hydref 2026
Dyddiad cau: Dydd Gwener, 6 Tachwedd 2026

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb ac amrywiaeth yn ogystal â chreu gweithle cynhwysol. Rydym o’r farn bod modd gwneud hyn drwy ddenu, datblygu a chadw ystod amrywiol o bobl o lawer o gefndiroedd gwahanol. Felly, rydym yn croesawu ymgeiswyr o bob rhan o’r gymuned, beth bynnag fo’u rhyw, eu hethnigrwydd, eu hanabledd, eu cyfeiriadedd rhywiol, eu hunaniaeth draws, statws eu perthynas, eu crefydd neu eu cred, eu cyfrifoldebau gofalu neu eu hoedran. Rydym yn croesawu ac yn annog ceisiadau yn arbennig gan y rhai o grwpiau nad ydynt wedi’u cynrychioli’n ddigonol yng ngweithlu'r Brifysgol, fel y rhai sy'n nodi eu bod yn LHDT+, o gefndiroedd du, Asiaidd ac ethnig leiafrifol neu'r rhai ag anableddau. Er mwyn helpu ein cyflogeion i sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng eu gwaith a’u bywydau personol, byddwn hefyd yn ystyried cynigion i weithio’n hyblyg neu rannu’r swydd.

Cewch gyflwyno cais yn Gymraeg, ac ni chaiff cais a gyflwynir yn Gymraeg ei drin yn llai ffafriol na chais a gyflwynir yn Saesneg.
