Hi there—I’m currently doing my Masters in psychology at St Andrews and I’m starting to apply to PhD-positions this month. My current research topic is on rational decision-making. I want to, if possible, do a project in psychology that could have an impact on some of the goals of EA and the 80k team. Does anybody know any psychologists at the moment who are focusing their research in areas that could be influential in this area, or are there any research areas in general that you suggest I might look into?
I’m particularly interested in something that’s cross-disciplinary—philosophy; behavioural economics; neuroscience are all good candidates.
