The Woo Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara, invites applications for an open, full-time Junior Specialist position, with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2024, or later. The lab (PI: Dr. Brandon Woo) is looking for a hardworking, motivated individual who is passionate about cognitive development.

Additionally, they will support literature reviews, study design, stimulus creation, participant recruitment, data collection, data analysis, presentations, paper writing, and grant writing. The position will include opportunities for developing independent research projects, learning new skills, and mentoring undergraduate research assistants. We hope that this position will prepare someone well for graduate studies.

Candidates must be able to work both independently and in collaboration with others. The Junior Specialist will work to build and support the lab community.

The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.
