Research interests
Rob obtained a degree in Cognitive Science at the University of Westminster, followed by a PhD at the Psychology department of University College London. His research interests include face perception and social interaction. He has published on these topics in the journals Science, Current Biology, and Psychological Science.
In 2007 he was awarded the BAAS Joseph Lister prize for science communication. In 2012 he was awarded the RSE/Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane early career medal for Physical Sciences, and the Glasgow University SRC STA Teaching Innovation award.
Rob Jenkins is a BPS Chartered Psychologist and a member of the RSE Young Academy. He is also the only UK psychologist in the Global Young Academy
