The Behavioral Lab at the Stanford Graduate School of Business anticipates hiring a full-time Research Assistant for a one-year term beginning August, 2006. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent bachelor’s-level graduate with a strong background in social science research to build experience and relationships in preparation for grad school. 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/
About 25% of the RA’s time will be spent providing direct research support to faculty and graduate students at the GSB (data coding and entry; running experiment sessions; designing studies; etc.); about 25% will be spent providing direct research support to the Behavioral Lab co-directors (lit searches; developing study hypotheses and materials; programming computer-based studies; etc.); and about 50% will involve administrative tasks associated with running subject pools and shared lab facilities (e-mail and communications; website maintenance; coordinating lab space scheduling; etc.). Training will be provided. Hours are flexible, and the RA has opportunities to sit in on lab meetings, seminars, and (with faculty permission) occasional graduate-level courses. Supervision may be minimal or intensive, depending on the project. The position is a one-year term (renewable).
The successful candidate will be an extremely bright, 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 or front page, etc.) and knowledge of research design and statistics are essential; experience with computer-based experimentation and web studies is desirable. Ability to balance multiple, competing projects and supervisors a must.
To apply, send your resume, a copy of your undergraduate transcript (photocopy acceptable), a letter outlining your interest, qualifications, and goals for the position, and one letter of recommendation to Paul K. Piff, the current Research Assistant, at ppiff@stanford.edu. Please submit all of your materials by April 15, 2006.
