summer 2022. This person will work closely with other lab members to assist
in all aspects of running the lab and conducting research. Expected start

The goal of our research is to understand the cognitive underpinnings of
our ability to learn from others and help others learn.  We employ a
variety of methods, including behavioral studies with young children (age 1
- 8), in-lab and online studies with adults, neuroimaging (fMRI), and
computational modeling. We are looking for someone who would feel
comfortable being involved in all aspects of research (especially
behavioral studies with young children) and take care of general lab
business.

*Job Description*:  Examples of lab business include (but are not limited
to):  data collection/analysis, managing databases, training & coordinating
undergraduate RAs, stimuli construction, maintaining computer
software/hardware, and coordinating outreach activities, and organizing lab
events. The lab has off-campus research sites in public museums, and the
job will involve regular visits to these sites. Opportunities to develop
independent research projects will also be available.

*Requirements*: A BA or BS degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science,
Computer Science, or in related fields would be helpful but not required.
We will consider research experience, quantitative background (statistics,
data analysis), and technical skills (e.g., R, Python, Javascript),
organizational skills, and communicative abilities in the selection
process. (Note: The applicant should be eligible to work in the US as a
full-time employee).

This position will be posted as a one-year position. However we expect the
position to be held for at least two years; renewal will be contingent upon
performance.
