Job Advert

Research Associate

We are seeking a Research Associate to join a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship programme at the Cardiff University Centre for Human Developmental Science, led by Dr Dean D’Souza.

This research programme addresses a fundamental question: How do exploration and learning self-organise in the first years of life?

We integrate naturalistic and experimental approaches to examine exploration as a core engine of adaptive development. Infants are conceptualised as active agents who shape their own learning by sampling information, reducing uncertainty, and updating predictions.

We are building an ambitious multimodal infant dataset integrating:

  • Head-mounted cameras
  • Screen-based and head-mounted eye tracking
  • Inertial and other body sensors
  • Audio and environmental measures
  • fNIRS neuroimaging
  • Computational and quantitative modelling

These converging methods allow us to trace exploration moment by moment, linking behavioural organisation to environmental complexity and neural dynamics.

This post will focus primarily on computational modelling of infant behaviour and experience, using approaches from machine learning, unsupervised learning, dynamical systems, information theory, or related quantitative methods.

The goal is to contribute to a mechanistic account of how infants adapt to complex environments.

This role is particularly well suited to candidates seeking to build an independent research profile in developmental science, computational cognitive science, or cognitive neuroscience. The successful candidate will take intellectual leadership in advanced quantitative analysis and theoretical development, with scope to initiate new directions and establish an independent trajectory within the programme.

Research Environment

You will be based in the Early Learning and Neurodevelopment (ELAN) lab within the Cardiff University Centre for Human Developmental Science (CUCHDS). Facilities include state-of-the-art eye tracking, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and magnetoencephalography with optically pumped magnetometers (OPM-MEG). The centre has strong links to the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC), one of the largest and most technologically advanced imaging centres in Europe. Both sit within Cardiff University’s School of Psychology, ranked 6th in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

You will join a supportive, collaborative, and intellectually vibrant community that values curiosity, innovation, and rigorous scientific practice. We strongly encourage applications from researchers from underrepresented backgrounds and are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment.

If you are motivated by big theoretical questions, excited by rich multimodal data, and eager to help shape a new, process-based science of development, we would love to hear from you.

For informal enquiries, contact Dr Dean D’Souza (DSouzaD2@cardiff.ac.uk).

This position is full-time (35 hours per week) and fixed term for 12 months or until 14 April 2028 (whichever is soonest).

Salary: £41,064 - £46,049 per annum (Grade 6). Appointments to roles at Cardiff University are usually made at bottom of scale unless in exceptional circumstances. Please note that it is not expected that we will appoint above Grade 6.32, currently £41,064 per annum.

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

Closing date: Wednesday, 7 October 2026

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.

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. More information is available at: Responsible research assessment - Research - Cardiff University

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

Hysbyseb Swydd

Cydymaith Ymchwil

Rydym yn chwilio am Gymdeithion Ymchwil i ymuno â rhaglen Cymrodoriaeth Arweinwyr y Dyfodol Ymchwil ac Arloesi y DU yng Nghanolfan Gwyddoniaeth Datblygiadol Dynol Prifysgol Caerdydd, a arweinir gan Dr Dean D'Souza.

Mae'r rhaglen ymchwil hon yn mynd i'r afael â chwestiwn sylfaenol: Sut mae archwilio a dysgu yn hunan-drefnu ym mlynyddoedd cyntaf bywyd?

Rydym yn integreiddio dulliau naturiolaidd ac arbrofol i ystyried archwilio fel sbardun craidd i ddatblygiad addasol. Mae babanod yn cael eu cysyniadu fel asiantau gweithredol sy'n llunio eu dysgu eu hunain drwy samplu gwybodaeth, lleihau ansicrwydd a diweddaru rhagfynegiadau.

Rydym yn adeiladu set ddata amlfoddol uchelgeisiol am fabanod sy'n integreiddio’r canlynol:

  • Camerâu pen
  • Dulliau olrhain llygaid wedi'u seilio ar y sgrin a'u gosod ar y pen
  • Synwyryddion inertiaidd a synwyryddion corff eraill
  • Mesurau clywedol ac amgylcheddol
  • Niwroddelweddu sbectrosgopeg agos-isgoch (fNIRS)
  • Modelu cyfrifiadurol a meintiol

Mae'r dulliau cydgyfeiriol hyn yn caniatáu inni olrhain sut maen nhw’n archwilio eiliad wrth eiliad, gan gysylltu trefniadaeth ymddygiadol â chymhlethdod amgylcheddol a deinameg niwral.

Bydd y swydd hon yn canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar fodelu cyfrifiadurol ymddygiad a phrofiad babanod, gan ddefnyddio dulliau o ddysgu peirianyddol, dysgu heb oruchwyliaeth, systemau deinamig, theori gwybodaeth, neu ddulliau meintiol cysylltiedig.

Y nod yw cyfrannu at gyfrif, mewn modd mecanyddol, am sut mae babanod yn addasu i amgylcheddau cymhleth.

Mae'r rôl hon yn arbennig o addas i ymgeiswyr sy'n ceisio adeiladu proffil ymchwil annibynnol mewn gwyddoniaeth ddatblygiadol, gwyddoniaeth wybyddol gyfrifiadurol, neu niwrowyddoniaeth wybyddol. Bydd yr ymgeisydd llwyddiannus yn arwain yn ddeallusol wrth gynnal dadansoddiadau meintiol uwch a datblygiad damcaniaethol, gyda’r gallu i fynd i gyfeiriadau newydd a sefydlu llwybr annibynnol yn y rhaglen.

Yr Amgylchedd Ymchwil

Byddwch wedi'ch lleoli yn y labordy Dysgu Cynnar a Niwroddatblygiad (ELAN) yng Nghanolfan Gwyddoniaeth Datblygiadol Dynol Prifysgol Caerdydd (CUCHDS). Mae'r cyfleusterau'n cynnwys olrhain llygaid o'r radd flaenaf, sbectrosgopeg agos-isgoch swyddogaethol (fNIRS), a magnetoenceffalograffi gyda magnetomedrau wedi'u pwmpio yn optegol (OPM-MEG). Mae gan y ganolfan gysylltiadau cryf â Chanolfan Ymchwil Delweddu’r Ymennydd Prifysgol Caerdydd (CUBRIC), sef un o'r canolfannau delweddu mwyaf a mwyaf datblygedig yn Ewrop. Mae'r ddau yn rhan o Ysgol Seicoleg Prifysgol Caerdydd, sydd yn chweched yn y DU am bŵer ymchwil (Fframwaith Rhagoriaeth Ymchwil 2021).

Byddwch yn ymuno â chymuned gefnogol, cydweithredol a deallusol fywiog sy'n gwerthfawrogi chwilfrydedd, arloesedd ac ymarfer gwyddonol trylwyr. Rydym yn annog ceisiadau gan ymchwilwyr o gefndiroedd sydd wedi'u tangynrychioli ac rydym wedi ymrwymo i feithrin amgylchedd amrywiol a chynhwysol.

Os ydych chi'n cael eich ysgogi gan gwestiynau damcaniaethol mawr, wedi'ch cyffroi gan ddata amlfoddol cyfoethog, ac yn awyddus i helpu i lunio gwyddoniaeth datblygu newydd, sy'n seiliedig ar brosesau, byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed gennych.

Os bydd gennych ymholiadau anffurfiol, cysylltwch â Dr Dean D'Souza (DSouzaD2@caerdydd.ac.uk).

Mae hon yn swydd amser llawn, 35 awr yr wythnos am dymor penodedig o 12 mis neu tan 14 Ebrill 2028 (p’un bynnag sydd gynharaf).

Cyflog: £41,064 – £46,049 y flwyddyn (Gradd 6). Ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, bydd unigolion fel arfer yn dechrau ar waelod y raddfa gyflog, ac eithrio o dan amgylchiadau eithriadol. Nid ydym yn disgwyl penodi rhywun uwchlaw gradd 6.32, sy’n talu £41,064 y flwyddyn ar hyn o bryd.

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd yn cynnig pecyn buddion gwych, gan gynnwys 45 diwrnod o wyliau blynyddol (gan gynnwys Gwyliau Banc), cynllun pensiwn lleol, cynllun beicio i'r gwaith a chynlluniau teithio eraill, cynyddrannau blynyddol ar hyd y raddfa gyflog, a mwy. Mae’n lle cyffrous a bywiog i weithio, gyda nifer o heriau gwahanol. Rydym hefyd yn falch o gefnogi’r Cyflog Byw.

Dyddiad hysbysebu: Dydd Mercher, 23 Medi 2026

Dyddiad cau Dydd Mercher, 7 Hydref 2026

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb ac amrywiaeth a 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 ceisiadau gan bobl 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 o fewn gweithlu'r Brifysgol, fel y rhai sy'n uniaethu fel LGBT+, 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 swydd.

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi llofnodi Datganiad ar Asesu Ymchwil (DORA) San Francisco, sy'n golygu y byddwn, wrth wneud penderfyniadau cyflogi a dyrchafu, yn gwerthuso ymgeiswyr ar sail safon eu hymchwil, nid ar sail metrigau cyhoeddi na'r cyfnodolyn y mae'r ymchwil wedi’i chyhoeddi ynddo. Ceir rhagor o wybodaeth yma: Asesu ymchwil yn gyfrifol - Ymchwil - Prifysgol Caerdydd

Caniateir i geisiadau gael eu cyflwyno yn Gymraeg, ac ni fydd cais a gyflwynir yn y Gymraeg yn cael ei drin yn llai ffafriol na chais a gyflwynir yn Saesneg.
