Dr. Yarrow Dunham and Dr. Julian Jara-Ettinger are hiring a research coordinator / lab manager to begin mid-summer (on or around July 1, 2023).

The successful candidate will help to coordinate multiple research programs across the two labs, fostering both experimental and developmental work.
Apply for this position by 11:59pm EST on March 1st, 2023 using this link.
We ask for two academic/professional references, a CV and a cover letter. Please email Mackenzie Briscoe (mackenzie.briscoe@yale.edu) with any questions.
Responsibilities for this position include recruiting, scheduling, and testing child and adult research participants; coordinating a team of graduate and post-doctoral researchers; building partnerships with and conducting research at local schools and museums; managing a participant database; training and coordinating undergraduate research assistants; purchasing and setting up lab equipment; and additional research and administrative duties as they arise. The position also offers the possibility for substantial research experience and the potential for co-authorship on posters and manuscripts as well as the possibility of international research travel.
Ideal candidates will have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in psychology or a related field, experience with children, research experience in an experimental psychology lab, and experience managing others. Strong organizational and communication skills and attention to detail are of the utmost importance. The candidate should be self-motivated and able to solve problems independently while also being comfortable managing and working with others. Strong technical skills are a must; lab duties will require making regular use of Microsoft Office, Photoshop, the survey platform Qualtrics and statistical software such as R. Computer programming aptitude (e.g. Python, Matlab, JavaScript, Flash) and experience with Amazon Mechanical Turk would be a plus but are not required.
