The Evolutionary Social Psychology and Psychology of Inequality Labs at the University of Michigan are recruiting a full time (40 hours/week) Research Technician Associate (i.e., lab manager) to work jointly in both labs.

The Evolutionary Social Psychology Lab, directed by Professor Joshua Ackerman, investigates a variety of psychological topics by asking not only what people do, but why and how our ancestral histories might have influenced such behaviors. Current work considers the impact of infectious disease and physiological immune system factors on decision-making and interpersonal behavior, as well as the influence of child and adult social settings on social cognition, romantic relationships, and time perception.

The Psychology of Inequality Lab, directed by Professor Arnold Ho, uses survey and experimental methods to examine the psychological underpinnings of intergroup conflict and inequality. Current research in the lab examines: 1) how sociopolitical motives influence racial categorization and 2) how individuals’ preferences for hierarchy (v. equality) affect intergroup attitudes, perception, and behavior.

The Research Technician Associate (lab manager) will be responsible for working with Professors Ackerman and Ho, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduates in both administrative and research capacities. This opportunity involves more than (but includes) typical research assistant capabilities, and thus will be most suited to applicants who have had prior experience conducting social psychological research and who have a strong interest in pursuing graduate school in social psychology, organizational behavior, or a related field.
