The Social Cognitive Development Lab at Yale, under the direction of Kristina Olson, is looking to hire a lab manager beginning in May or June. The lab’s research sits at the intersection of developmental and social psychology, focusing on topics such as the emergence and development of social attitudes (e.g., race, gender, social class), pro-social behavior, morality, and ownership. Duties include managing and organizing a busy lab including graduate students, undergraduate research assistants, and summer and high school interns. The lab manager assists in the training of all new lab members, recruits and runs or supervises the running of more than a thousand (mostly child) participants each year in the lab, at schools and after-school programs in the New Haven area, as well as other parts of the country (and potentially in other countries), purchases and maintains lab equipment, conducts library searches, oversees lab organization and management, assists the PI with administrative tasks, and helps with data entry.
An ideal candidate has a bachelor’s degree in psychology or cognitive science, considerable experience with children, at least some training in social and/or developmental psychology, working knowledge of Excel and SPSS, and access to a car to drive to research sites. Strong multi-tasking, leadership, and organizational skills are necessary. A minimum 1 year commitment is necessary, though 2 years is more desirable.
For more information about the lab see our website: http://pantheon.yale.edu/~kro3. To apply please send your resume (with references) and a cover letter to nina.slywotzky@yale.edu . Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, though we expect to fill the position by the end of March. The start date is flexible, though likely in May or June.
