Application for Postdoctoral Research Associate
The Department of Psychology at Princeton University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate. Applicants should have a PhD degree (or expect to receive a PhD degree by June 15, 2026) in Psychology with demonstrated expertise in gender development. Applicants should have expertise in video coding (e.g., Datavyu), longitudinal data analysis (e.g., RI-CLPM, growth-curve analysis), multi-level modeling, and experimental study design.
Expertise designing studies with parents, infants, and school-aged children is particularly desirable. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work with Dr. Kristina Olson on two projects. One is a long-term study of gender development and the other is a new project involving the coding of video data in infants. Responsibilities will include activities such as working with large, longitudinal datasets, designing and implementing lab-based experiments, coding video data, writing manuscripts, presenting research, and mentoring undergraduate and graduate researchers in the group.
The position is offered for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal, contingent upon funding and satisfactory performance. In addition to the aforementioned project, the appointee will have opportunities to develop additional projects with members of Dr. Olson's lab and/or maintain their ongoing work. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University. This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
