Cambridge Cognition - what we do
Our team of cognitive and clinical scientists advise pharmaceutical and biotech companies on how best to incorporate cognitive testing in global clinical trials as either efficacy, safety or exploratory endpoints. We work across a range of disorders - most commonly depression, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and schizophrenia. We also develop new ways of using digital technologies like smartphones or the Apple Watch to capture cognitive data on patients’ own devices as they go about their daily lives.
The role requirements
We are seeking to recruit an individual with a PhD and/or MSc plus experience in human neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, psychopharmacology or a related discipline.
