The Perception and Attention Lab at Michigan State University is seeking a full time lab manager. The lab is headed by Mark W. Becker, PhD and uses a combination of behavioral methods and eye tracking to investigate the role of attention in visual perception. Currently, our main projects include investigating how emotional stimuli and one’s mood influence attentional processing and investigating the interactions between working memory and attention. The position requires a bachelor’s degree in Psychology or a related field, knowledge of the scientific method and statistics, and basic computer skills. Ability to program (E-Prime, Matlab, C++, Visual Basic, or Python) and familiarity with SPSS would be a plus. The main duties will be to oversee day to day operations of the lab, run subjects, and analyze data. The manager will also assist with programming of experiments, writing of human subjects proposals, and performing background literature reviews. More information about the lab is available at https://www.msu.edu/~becker54/lab/labindex.htm. The position requires a one year commitment and is ideal for a recent graduate who is seeking additional research experience before applying to graduate school.
