Lab Manager - Social Learning Lab @ Stanford University
******************************************************************
The Social Learning Lab <http://sll.stanford.edu/> (PI: Hyo Gweon) in the
Department of Psychology at Stanford University is looking for a full-time
lab manager. Our research aims to understand how humans learn in social
contexts, with a particular focus on early childhood. The lab manager will
work closely with other lab members to assist in all aspects of running the
lab and conducting research (especially behavioral studies with young
children, both in-person and online). Expected start date is mid-June 2025,
with some flexibility.
Duties 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. The lab manager will also have opportunities to contribute to
ongoing projects in the lab or lead a new project.
Strong organization skills and strong working knowledge of Slack, MS
Office, and GSuite is required. In the selection process, we will also
consider research experience, quantitative background (statistics, data
analysis), technical skills (e.g., R, Python, Javascript/HTML/CSS), and
communicative skills in the selection process. The applicant should be
eligible to work in the US as a full-time employee.
This position will be posted as a one-year fixed-term position, but we
expect the position to be held for at least two years; renewal will be
contingent upon performance.
How to apply: Please apply through Stanford Careers (Requisition ID: 105712)
<http://phxc1b.rfer.us/STANFORDvt0T6R>. Submit your resume/CV,
undergraduate transcript, and cover letter stating your interest in and

February 23 (Sun), 2025.
