**Description**:
The Societal Psychology Laboratory led by Dr Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington in the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Research Assistant/Lab Manager on a full-time basis.

The Research Assistant will become Lab Manager of the Societal Psychology Lab, coordinating all its research and administrative activities. This includes managing research protocols submitted to the NYUAD Institutional Review Board (IRB) for ethical review, designing and implementing a system for shared, secure storage of data, research protocols, and preregistrations, and managing the lab’s presence on open science platforms. The Research Assistant / Lab Manager will also support the conduct of research in the lab, including design and pretesting of research materials, participant recruitment, collecting data both in-person and online, cleaning and preliminary analysis of data, and bibliographic and editorial support for papers. There is scope, depending on interests and experience, for the Research Assistant to take the lead on research projects and/or join as a co-author on papers.

Current and planned research projects cover topics such as the development of political attitudes in the college years (studied using the WeAreNYUAD Survey), foundations of ideological individual differences, the psychology of neoliberalism, and the consequences of socioeconomic adversity and economic inequality on decision-making. The lab is made up of post-docs, PhD students, and undergraduates currently working in a hybrid format across NYU Abu Dhabi and the London School of Economics and Political Science, with core collaborators at Aarhus University and the University of Oslo. The research assistant will join a vibrant social and political psychology research group at NYUAD made up of faculty, graduate students, post-docs, and undergraduate students.

Applicants must hold (or be close to completing) an undergraduate degree in psychology or a related field, in addition to some experience in or exposure to quantitative research in psychological, behavioral, or cognitive science. Applications are encouraged from those with a Master’s degree in social psychology or a related field, training in research methods and statistics, and those with an interest in pursuing a PhD study in social or political psychology. Fluency in statistics for the social and behavioral sciences and experience with data collection methods such as economic games, longitudinal surveys, and lab-based social cognition methods are an advantage.

The terms of employment are competitive and include housing, health insurance, and educational subsidies for children. Applications are open and will be accepted up until **Friday 10**th** January 2025, with interviews held during week commencing January 13**th**. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a Transcript, and details of at least 2 referees (no need to submit letters at this stage) to Interfolio.
