CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Research Assistant, Department of Psychology, Harvard University

The Harvard Music Lab (PI Samuel Mehr) is hiring a full-time Research
Assistant to contribute to any part of our research on music perception
and cognition. Possible focus areas include cross-sectional and
longitudinal studies of infants and families, web-based citizen science,
data science, cross-cultural studies, and more.

Candidates with interests in any of these areas are encouraged to apply,
but it is not necessary to have experience in more than one. Regardless
of academic background, we encourage anyone who is interested in the
scientific study of music to apply. Applicants can read more about our
work at http://themusiclab.org.

The RA will join any/all aspects of our research, including creating
experiment stimuli with video and audio editing tools; designing
experiments; working in jsPsych, HTML, and/or CSS (with our supervision
and training); assisting with data collection and analysis; setting up
and maintaining equipment; helping to carry out in-lab experiments with
people of all ages, including infants, children, and their parents; and
working on social media and web-based participant recruitment. The RA
will attend and participate in lab meetings and work with the PI to
develop independent research projects. This position is ideal for people
interested in developing their research interests before applying to
graduate school, but this is not a requirement.

An undergraduate degree in cognitive science, psychology, or a related
field is preferred, though candidates with other backgrounds will also
be considered. Experience with some of the software packages and
programming languages we use may be helpful (R, Stata, javascript, CSS,
HTML, Python, SQL, AWS, Audition, Premiere, MTurk, Qualtrics, etc) but
is not required.

We are committed to increasing diversity in scientific and
health-related research and especially encourage applications from
individuals who identify as members of one or more ethnic groups that
have been shown by the National Science Foundation to be
under-represented in health-related sciences on a national basis.

All formal offers will be made by FAS Human Resources. This is a
one-year salaried position, with benefits including health and tuition
assistance, and with the possibility of renewal. The planned start date
of 1 September 2020 but is negotiable. Unfortunately, we are unable to
offer visa sponsorship for this position; candidates must be eligible to
work in the US in order to be considered. Please apply
at http://tinyurl.com/musiclabRA20 by 31 March 2020 and direct any
questions about this posting to musicl...@g.harvard.edu
<mailto:musiclab%2BR...@g.harvard.edu>.
