The Postdoctoral Fellow will serve as the lab manager of the Graduate School of Business’s Decision Research Laboratory, and will coordinate laboratory research projects for the faculty and PhD students. We anticipate that the lab manager will be a half-time position. Depending on qualifications and interests, the position may also offer teaching responsibilities. Salary will be competitive.

The group runs weekly workshop and brownbag seminars. More information on the group and our activities is available at: www.chicagocdr.org.
This position is open to candidates who have recently earned their Ph.D., or who are expecting their degree in 2006, in any area of psychology, organizational behavior, or marketing. Familiarity with methods of experimentation is important. In particular, experience in conducting computer, web-based, and interpersonal interaction-based experiments is desirable.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation, and a cover letter describing their research interests. Applicants may also wish to detail experience relevant to the lab manager duties.

The applicant should indicate one or two faculty members with whom they would be most interested in working (see www.chicagocdr.org for a list of the faculty and links to their homepages).
