During the course of this role you may have the opportunity to apply for a PhD. This project is funded by the Wellcome Trust on a multi center grant lead by Penny Lewis, who specializes in the study of what sleep does to our memories, and is based at the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC). Cardiff University’s Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) is one of the best equipped neuroscience institutes in Europe, housing 3 MRI scanners, including a 7T and a Connectom scanner, a MEG, EEG labs, a brain stimulation lab, and of course the state of the art sleep lab. The Welsh National Center for Mental Health. is situated next door to the building which enables us to work closely with them. The Neuroscience and Psychology of Sleep (NaPS) group is housed within CUBRIC, and conducts world-leading research on the impacts of sleep on cognitive processes. For informal enquiries, please contact Penny Lewis: [email protected] (please put title Sleep Engineering job in the email subject) This position is part-time (24.5 hours per week), and is fixed term until 31st May 2029.

Salary: £33,951 - £36,636 per annum, pro-rata (Grade 5). Please be aware that appointments to roles at Cardiff University are usually made at bottom of scale unless in exceptional circumstances. Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave pro rata (including Bank Holidays), local pension scheme, a cycle to work scheme and other travel initiatives, annual increments within the pay scale, and more. It is an exciting and vibrant place to work, with many different challenges and is a proud Living Wage supporter. Date advert posted: Friday, 16 October 2026 Closing date: Friday, 6 November 2026 Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
