Dr. Osterman, Dr. Buchholz, and Dr. Gili Freedman attended the SPSP conference (Society for Personality and Social Psychology) this past weekend over in San Diego and presented on a variety of socially intriguing topics. Below you’ll find Dr. Osterman being her majestic self, as always, preparing to impart upon the world the research she and her research assistants found about friend choices.
Dr. Buchholz was also prepared to tell the world about agency, empathy, and mindfuless in prosocial behaviors. 
Dr. Freedman was of course also excited about her research dealing with gender and social rejection beliefs.
Keep up the good work, RoCo!

Late 2015, our very own Dr. Janelle Gornick and coauthors got an article published in Political Psychology, titled “Are Conservatives Really More Simple-Minded than Liberals? The Domain Specificity of Complex Thinking.” Congratulations, Dr. Gornick!

Lab Manager – Social Learning Lab @ Stanford University
The Social Learning Lab (SLL) welcomes enthusiastic, motivated individuals to apply for a lab manager position to start in summer 2016. This person will work closely with other lab members to assist in all aspects of running the lab and conducting research.
The goal of our research is to understand the cognitive underpinnings of our ability to communicate with others to both learn about and teach others about both the physical and the social world. To this end, we employ a variety of methods: many of our projects involve behavioral methods with young children, fMRI experiments with adults and children, as well as online experiments with adults. A successful candidate would be someone who would feel comfortable being involved in all aspects of research as well as taking good care of general lab business (e.g., training & coordinating undergraduate research assistants, recruiting & running subjects, communicating with staff at our research sites, constructing stimuli, managing & analyzing data, etc.). This person will also have opportunities to develop independent research projects.
A BA or BS degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, or in related fields would be helpful but not required. Research experience (particularly in cognitive neuroscience or cognitive development), strong statistical background, and programming skills (e.g., MATLAB) is highly desirable.
This position will be posted as a one-year position. Ideally however the position would be held for two years, and renewal will be contingent upon performance. Please refer to this webpage (sll.stanford.edu) for more information on applying for this position. We ask all applicants to submit their answers to a list of questions as part of the application. For best consideration, please apply by February 1, 2016. Send any inquiries to sll.stanford@gmail.com.
