A position has arisen for a Research Assistant working on CognoSpeak an automated assessment of cognition based on language. CognoSpeak uses an Intelligent virtual agent (IVA) on a computers screen to ask questions. Verbal answers are recorded using automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Machine Learning algorithms analyse speech patterns for cognitive impairment. In this project (CognoSpeak) aims to explore the use of an IVA, with patients referred to the memory clinics.
You will work closely with the Chief Investigators to support the conduct of this study. You will help recruit participants to this study from Primary Care and Secondary Care memory clinics. You will also help set up external sites for CognoSpeak as we widen recruitment to other memory services and to registries such as Great Minds and Join Dementia Research (JDR) to include Healthy controls.
You will work within the Department of Neuroscience but the post is shared with computer science.
An undergraduate qualification (or equivalent experience) in science, psychology, neuroscience, social science, health care or clinical audit is essential. Post graduate degree, medical clinical research and experience in working with people with dementia and/or with communication difficulties due to cognitive impairment is desirable.
You will undertake quality control responsibilities related to studies, including site monitoring.
The post is available immediately and is fixed term until 31st January 2025.
