About the Opportunity:



Responsibilities:

The research technician will work on an NIH-funded study of emotion regulation in everyday life across adulthood. Primary responsibilities include the day-to-day running of the study, including recruiting and running participants (all remotely), training participants to use the app to complete the study, and trouble-shooting problems participants have with the app. The lab is large and team-based, so the research technician will be expected as to coordinate a team of undergraduate research volunteers who assist with the studies as well as to interact with other lab members (graduate students and post-docs), and collaborators outside of the lab as well. Given the nature of this research, the research technician must be comfortable with computers and computer technology, and must demonstrate a willingness to learn new software and methodologies independently.

Qualifications:

BA or BS in Psychology, 1 to 3 years experience in a lab environment, in Psychology, or a closely-related discipline
Prior experience with some statistical (e.g., SPSS) and some experimental software (e.g., Matlab) strongly preferred
