not strictly required, the lab has a current interest in reasoning about ‘scripted’ behaviors in other people (how and when people perceive others as being rote or “on automatic”, and why it might matter), and an interest in this topic on the part of candidates
is an advantage. Activities may include training and supervising research assistants; experiment design, data collection and analysis, manuscript preparation and grant-writing, and collaboration with the research lab at Harvard University under the direction
of Tomer Ullman, as well as other related labs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
