It explores the interface between speech signal quality and cognitive functions in challenging listening conditions. Main themes for this project include energetic masking, attention control, working memory, spatial hearing, and effort. Data collection involves both behavioural methods (speech transcription tasks, auditory psychophysical tests) and physiological methods (pupillometric measures of listening effort). The programme of work combines large-scale online testing and targeted in-lab experiments. The project is carried out in Professor Sven Mattys’ labs at the University of York, in collaboration with Dr. Knight at Newcastle University and Dr. McGarrigle at the University of Leeds. Role The successful candidate will contribute to every stage of the project and support the day-to-day organisation of laboratory activities. They will assist in designing the experiments, creating, recording, and editing auditory and visual materials for all experiments, collecting data (in the lab and online), analysing and interpreting data, and disseminating results. The candidate will be fully integrated into a vibrant lab and expected to attend and contribute to lab meetings and public-engagement activities. Skills, Experience & Qualification Needed Candidates should have (or be on track for) a first or upper 2-1 undergraduate degree or Master's degree in speech and hearing science, cognitive psychology, linguistics, or another relevant discipline. A good command of experimental designs in cognitive science and proficiency with statistical analysis (preferably using R) are essential. Experience in psychophysics (including programming psychophysical experiments), pupillometric analysis, creation/manipulation of speech stimuli using relevant software (e.g., Audacity, Praat), and/or knowledge of spatial hearing is desirable, as is experience with writing up scientific results. Experience with online testing is highly desirable, due to a substantial portion of data collection will be carried out online (via the Prolific and Gorilla platforms). A high standard of written, numerical and verbal communication skills with the ability to keep accurate records. The ability to plan and take responsibility for your own work whilst working as part of a team or independently. Good interpersonal skills, a commitment to professional development, and enthusiasm for psychological research. You should be dependable, reliable and self-motivated.

BSF has increasingly been gaining attention because of its usefulness for recycling organic waste and as a low-carbon source of protein and lipids. However, the wildtype insects lack some desirable characteristics; adjusting their genetics (gene editing or transgenesis) could potentially expand their capabilities. The post arises due to maternity leave (June 2025-Feb 2026, inclusive) of a current staff member. The post-holder will join an existing project team within Prof Alphey’s wider group, collaborating as part of this project with Prof Neil Bruce’s group in the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP), also in Dept of Biology.

Being part of an ongoing project, start date is negotiable but potentially immediately after completion of the recruitment process. Role The core of the project is to develop and test components, modules and systems for gene drives in An. stephensi. Correspondingly, the main component of the role is insect genetic studies (development of new transgenic/gene edited strains, rearing and colony maintenance, phenotypic analysis, experimental design and statistical analysis). Additional responsibilities include some molecular biology (assisting with development of novel plasmids, preparing DNA for mosquito injections, molecular analysis of transgenic strains), communicating progress and data including assisting with manuscript preparation, and training/supervising other staff/students as required.

This ‘data donation’ paradigm is at the heart of the SDDS.
