 | Research Assistant/Lab Manager Position |  |  |  |  |  | |
A lab manager position is available in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at University of California Santa Barbara with Dr. Brenda Major. Primary areas of research involve examining: (1) factors that shape perceptions of discrimination and reactions to intergroup feedback, and (2) impact of weight stigmatization on executive control processes, psychophysiological responses, and behavior.
The duties of this position are diverse and will include assisting with study design and preparation, scheduling and running subjects, overseeing research assistants, performing literature searches, completing paperwork associated with IRB and grants, web page management, and generally helping with the organization of the numerous projects underway in the lab. As such, we are looking for an organized, detail-oriented person with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, prior research experience, excellent writing skills, and proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). There will be an opportunity to collaborate on lab projects so an ideal candidate will also have an interest and background in the topics studied in the lab and possess additional skills such as familiarity with data analyses (SPSS), programming, and physiological (e.g., CVR) measurement.
The preferred start date is September 15. Please send a statement of interest, resume, and 2-3 letters of recommendation to majorlabucsb@gmail.com (with "MAJORLAB POSITION" in the subject line). The Department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
