Job Details
You will be at the heart of an exciting collaboration between Cambridge Cognition and the School of Experimental Psychology. The collaboration will develop and bring to market a new app that enables users to manage low-level symptoms of anxiety and depression by changing the way they respond to the emotional stimuli in the world around them.
Within the project, you will be involved in designing and carrying out user research to establish parameters like how often users should use the CBM procedure, for whom it is most useful and how it helps them, and in optimising the design of the app so that it is really engaging. You will work closely with Cambridge Cognition staff in a formal product development process to identify and target likely markets, and to ensure the best functionality and usability of the app.
Cambridge Cognition is a small technology and neuroscience business with a strong scientific heritage. It takes cutting-edge science from UK universities and develops it into software to help scientists, doctors and patients measure and monitor cognitive function. The company is headquartered just outside Cambridge, benefiting from Cambridge’s high-tech cluster and from strong ongoing relationships with the University of Cambridge and many other clinical and academic groups.
The School of Experimental Psychology has a long-standing tradition of excellence particularly in cognitive areas of psychology and is a dynamic and multidisciplinary school.
