Research Fellow (Neural Sociometrics)
Job post no longer accepts applications
The Baby-LINC Singapore Lab (https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/baby-linc/) is looking for a talented Research Fellow in Neural Sociometrics. S/he will join a large-scale interdisciplinary research project, "A Sociometric AI Screening Tool to Risk-Stratify Infant Neurodevelopmental Trajectories (STARS)", led by PI Associate Professor Victoria Leong at NTU. This project aims to develop a novel, scalable screening tool to assess infant mental wellbeing and psychosocial health, and map translational pathways for clinical deployment and policy implementation in Singapore. STARS will collect and analyse longitudinal parent-infant "neural sociometric" data (0-3 yrs), combining innovations in two-person brain imaging (dyadic-EEG) with powerful AI machine-learning methods to risk-stratify early neurodevelopmental trajectories, with reference to cognitive and executive function outcomes.
The successful candidate will conduct cutting-edge social neuroscience research with infants and parents (involving dyadic-EEG acquisition and analysis), including children with (or at risk for) Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or infants born prematurely. You will join a dynamic and friendly international consortium as part of the Baby-LINC lab in Singapore and in Cambridge (UK).
