Susquehanna University

United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi

Description

The Societal Psychology Laboratory led by Dr Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington in the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a postdoctoral associate to work on research into the psychological consequences of poverty.

The successful applicant will join an active research program on the impact of financial adversity and socioeconomic marginalization on emotion, cognitive functioning, self-regulation, and decision-making. Our lab’s work has focused to date on how financial strain shapes present oriented decision-making and how the salience of low socioeconomic standing links to fatalistic attitudes and internalized shame. We are now turning to examine how social and economic policies can mitigate these effects, with a particular focus on the forms of solidarity built into initiatives such as universal basic income. Key mediating mechanisms in this research are perceptions of power, control, meritocracy, and societal belonging. The successful candidate will lead the design, implementation, and write-up of lab-based, survey, and potentially field research on these questions, in collaboration with the lab PI and other lab members. The candidate will join a strong social and political psychology research group made up of faculty, graduate students, post-docs, and undergraduate students.

Applicants must hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in social psychology or a related field (such as cognitive, experimental, or evolutionary psychology, or behavioral science). Applications are encouraged from PhD holders or graduating PhD students with a solid emerging publication record, a background in the study of poverty, socioeconomic status, economic inequality, or social class, and experience with experimental, longitudinal, and survey methods. Expertise in the analysis of longitudinal and multilevel data, computational modelling, and/or natural language processing is a plus.

The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing, health insurance, and educational subsidies for children. Applications are open and will be accepted up until Friday 18th October 2024, with interviews held during week commencing October 21st. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests, and details of at least 2 referees (no need to submit letters at this stage), all in PDF format.

Interested applicants are welcome to reach out to Dr Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington with any questions about the position - jennifer.sheehy.skeffington@nyu.edu.
