Researcher in Psychology

Popis:

Researcher in Psychology Do you want to work on research supported by competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Do you want an employer that invests in sustainable employee engagement and offers secure, favorable working conditions? We welcome your application for a position as a researcher at the Department of Psychology, Uppsala University. Description: We are seeking a driven and experienced researcher and psychologist who wants to become part of the DIMFI research project at Uppsala Child and Baby Lab. Your role involves both developing new knowledge and disseminating research results to both the research community and the general public. You will particularly work on deepening the understanding of how neuro-ocular markers, based on corneal reflection eye tracking, can be linked to psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. Transdiagnostic components, such as emotion regulation or sensory sensitivity, are also important areas that the research will illuminate. Communication occurs primarily through scientific publications and conference contributions, but popular science and mass media formats may also be relevant. DIMFI – DIMensional Fidelity – is a research project with the official title "Multidimensional Profiles of Neuropsychiatric Biomarkers from Eye Movement Measurements" (ethics approval Dnr 2024‑00648‑01). The project combines advanced eye tracking technology with psychological measurement methods to map biological mechanisms that affect mental health. The work focuses on identifying neuropsychological biomarkers that can be related to different psychiatric profiles. Through a transdiagnostic perspective, where DSM‑5 is complemented with Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), the project aims to capture more nuanced dimensions of behavior and brain function than traditional diagnostic categories allow. As a member of the research group, you will become an important part of a project at the forefront of biomarker research and with the potential to change how we understand and assess mental health. Responsibilities: Your tasks include data collection using eye tracking and web forms, statistical analysis of data, writing scientific texts, and active participation in research group meetings and development work. Qualifications: Applicants must hold a doctoral degree, be a licensed psychologist, and have documented clinical experience. The role requires strong analytical skills and the ability to transform research results into clear messages tailored to different target audiences, including those outside academia. We place great value on personal qualities. You need to be able to collaborate with researchers from multiple disciplines as well as with actors in both healthcare and the private sector. You work in a structured and goal-oriented manner, are accustomed to managing both short and longer timeframes, and thrive in an environment where some tasks are outward-facing and require good collaboration skills. The position also assumes that you take your own initiatives, drive processes forward, and feel confident working independently. You express yourself fluently in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing. Desirable/Meriting qualifications: Experience with eye tracking methods (including analysis and visualization) is highly meriting. About the position: The employment is permanent. Full-time (100%). Start date October 1, 2026, or by agreement. Individual salary setting applies.
