Research Assistant, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Boston College

The Morality Lab at Boston College, led by Liane Young, is seeking one full-time
postbaccalaureate lab manager, with a two-year commitment. Applications will be
reviewed on a rolling basis (priority will be given to applications submitted before 11:59
pm EST, March 1st) until the position has been filled, with the position starting as early as
April 2025 and no later than July 2025.

Boston College is a research university with a strong and growing psychology department,
located in an academic hub city with many opportunities for cross-lab collaboration. In the
coming year, the Morality Lab will consist of two postdoctoral researchers and five PhD
students, in addition to undergraduate research assistants, part-time research affiliates, and
close collaborators from other labs in the department and other nearby institutions.

Members of the Morality Lab research diverse topics related to social and moral cognition;
for example, the impact of social norms on virtuous behavior, social learning and
prediction error, and perceptions of virtue signaling. The lab uses behavioral methods (e.g.,
online data collection), fMRI, and computational modeling, in both neurotypical and
neurodivergent populations, adults and children. Learn more by visiting
https://moralitylab.bc.edu/.

Responsibilities include handling administrative duties for the lab (e.g., managing
finances, purchasing equipment, maintaining lab software and lab data, preparing grant
applications, coordinating meetings, obtaining human subjects approval, recruiting and
scheduling subjects), supporting the research of graduate students and postdocs (e.g.,
mentoring research assistants, maintaining lab software, assisting in data collection and
analysis), and conducting original research. All former post-bac research assistants have
had the opportunity to design, conduct, publish, and present research. This position is ideal
for individuals interested in applying to graduate school.
Candidates should expect to receive their B.A./B.S. in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive
science, computer science, economics, math, or a related field by May 2025.

Candidates
should be independent workers who are able to learn new skills on their own, with strong
organizational skills and a track record of working well with others in professional or
extracurricular settings. The ideal candidate will be excited about and competent in both
neuroscientific and behavioral social psychology methods, and will have strong
quantitative skills and knowledge of statistics and experimental design.

Our lab is committed to increasing research opportunities for students that belong to
groups that have been historically excluded from psychology, and from science more
broadly. We particularly encourage students of color, women students, LGBTQ+
students, disabled students/students with disabilities, and first generation/low-income
students to apply.

comprehensive health and dental insurance plans, Boston College offers many other
