Post-Doctoral Associate in the Division of SciencePsychology of Economic Inequality

Description

Dr. Anne Maass is hiring a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on a multifaceted project on the Psychology of Economic Inequality. Paradoxically, people desire, in principle, greater equality, but are reluctant to endorse specific redistribution policies to achieve it. The aim of this project is to address this paradox and to develop and test an overall model of how communication (in particular, modes of visualization) affect redistribution attitudes and actions concerning economic inequality both, within and between countries. The Post-Doctoral Associate will join Dr. Anne Maass’ Lab at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD).

The Post-Doctoral Associate is expected to start working on the project in January 2023. The position is for two years and is renewable based on performance and availability of funds. The terms of employment are highly competitive and will include housing and travel subsidies.

Review of applications will begin on October 1st, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom.

Qualifications
Candidates must hold (or be close to completing) a Ph.D. in Social Psychology or in Economics, and must be able to demonstrate a strong background in experimental methodologies and an interest in understanding the psychological processes underlying people’s understanding of and attitudes towards economic inequality.
