 Two Research Assistantships
Institution/Organization: Stanford Graduate School of Business
Job Location: California, U.S.A.
Contact Person: Nicholas Hall
Date Posted: June 4th, 2010
Web Site: http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/behavioral_lab/


The Behavioral Lab at the Stanford Graduate School of Business is hiring two full-time Research Assistants for a one-year term, with a possibility of a one-year renewal.

The Lab consists of approximately 30 faculty and Ph.D. students conducting a wide variety of experimental research in social psychology, organizational behavior and marketing. For further information about the Behavioral Lab, please visit our website at:

http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/behavioral_lab/

The research assistant provides direct research support to the faculty and students at the GSB. Research support, about 85% of time, may consist of data coding and entry, running experiment sessions, programming computer-based studies, and performing literature searches. The RA may also assist in the creation of materials for research studies, or fill out IRB protocol forms.

In addition to research support, roughly 10% of time, the RA will provide administrative support for the Behavioral Lab. Administrative support may include communication with members of the participant pool, maintenance of the Lab website, coordinating lab space scheduling, and ensuring the laboratory space is maintained.

The research assistant must be an independent self-starter who can take initiative, see projects through to completion, and understand the unique priorities and demands of lab-based experimentation. Excellent computer skills (word, excel, html, etc.) are essential; statistics ability desirable. The candidate should have the ability to work independently, and at the same time the ability to easily get along with coworkers in a small office setting. The ability to balance multiple, competing projects is important, as are the strengths of teamwork, flexibility, openness, and tolerance for ambiguity.

The RA is responsible for maintaining a consistent and constant presence in the lab. The RA also has opportunities to sit in on lab meetings and seminars. Supervision may be minimal or intensive, depending on the project and the faculty/student you are working for at the time; the successful candidate should be able to work well with both styles.
