The evolutionary origins of mapping social connections

Research Fellow (primate cognition)

Salary- £33,045 - £38,026 per annum

Full time/ 3 year fixed term position (October 2026 - October 2029)

About the Role

In this role, you will lead the development of cognitive experimental research, in connection with the Leverhulme Trust funded project, ‘The evolutionary origins of mapping social connections’. You will work alongside Dr Jamie Whitehouse, and collaborators Dr Sébastien Ballesta and Prof. Bridget Waller.

"To be successful in a complex social world, understanding the connections between others beyond personal connections is paramount. Individuals differ in their ability to create a mental map of these connections, but why they differ, and what causes this, remains unexplained. We propose that the ability to process facial expressions and thus build an understanding of others’ relationships, is key to explaining these differences. Through a series of cognitive experiments and behavioural studies with non-human primates, we will identify the role of reading faces in the evolution of mentalising maps of social connections."

As Research Fellow, you will use your creativity to design and implement a battery of cognitive tests on free-ranging primates housed within the Centre for Primatology (SILABE, University of Strasbourg, France), using automated testing facilities. You will measure how accurately individuals represent the social relationships in their group, and the extent to which is accuracy can be explained by facial expression processing, identity processing, social memory, social motivation and other relevant socio-cognitive abilities. This position will include practical experience with semi free-ranging macaques. You will lead data collection, analysis, interpretation, publication and dissemination of research and may assist in the supervision of a PhD Student on the project.

Please see here for further details about the project: https://jamiewhitehouse.github.io/mappingconnections/ . For informal queries about the position before applying, please don't hesitate to contact Jamie Whitehouse ([email protected])

For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly. To ensure the diverse needs of our team are met we actively encourage secondments and offer flexible part-time working patterns - we're focused on finding the right person for the role. International applicants welcome.

Interview date: Week Commencing 6th July or Week Commencing 13th July
