Dr Jemaine Stacey

I completed my PhD investigating "the influence of visual speech information on the perception of auditory speech in quiet and noise" under the supervision of Dr Paula Stacey at Nottingham Trent University. I completed my first post-doctoral role at University of Nottingham in 2020 working with hearing aid users to understand listening effort. I then undertook a three-year research fellow role at Nottingham Trent University working with Dr Stephen Badham investigating the benefits of multisensory stimuli for older adults. I started as an Early Career Fellow at University of Leicester in 2024.

I contribute teaching to the Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees in the School of Psychology and Vision Sciences. I am module coordinator for Cognition and Well-being across the lifespan and also teach other 3rd year modules including Cognitive Horizons: Exploring Brain & Cognition, as well as supporting year 1 and 2 research labs. I deliver teaching to Masters students in the area of Cognitive Psychology including: memory, visual perception and decision making etc. I also supervise final year students and Masters students as they carry out their own research projects.
