Department Summary

The UCLA Department of Psychology is an exceptional department known for its excellence in research, teaching, and service. With a distinguished faculty comprising more than 60 ladder rank members, it is one of the nation's top psychology departments. Its undergraduate program is the largest within the Division of Life Sciences and the UCLA College, with 5000 undergraduate students enrolled across three majors: Psychology, Psychobiology, and Cognitive Science. The department also offers a comprehensive Ph.D. program with eight areas of study to approximately 200 enrolled graduate students. Position Summary

A reliable, highly organized, independent, individual is sought for a full-time Staff Research Associate (SRA) Position in the Brain and Body Lab (BABLab), in the UCLA Psychology Department, under the supervision of the Principal Investigator (Dr. Bridget Callaghan). The SRA will be responsible for coordinating and conducting a research study on brain-gut function in youth funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health, as well as managing general lab activities. The BABLab studies emotional development and its relation to physical health across the lifespan (infancy to adulthood). We utilize behavioral (questionnaire, interview, and task performance), fMRI, and biological measures to understand how early experiences, particularly of adversity, shape cognitive, affective, and physical development, leading to health and disease outcomes. We are a close-knit team of postdocs, graduate students and undergraduates who value individuals with strong work ethic and a positive attitude. You can read more about the lab culture in our lab manual: https://bablab.github.io/lab_manual/ Under the supervision of Dr. Callaghan, the incumbent will be involved in managing a federally-funded, active research lab, and will participate in many aspects of the research process, including designing and implementing experiments, programming experimental tasks, recruiting and scheduling participants, running research sessions, and analyzing data. The SRA will also oversee the day-to-day operations of the lab, including developing and maintaining a database for participant recruitment and research data, preparation, submission, and maintenance of IRB applications, scheduling lab events and research meetings, and helping to supervise undergraduate research assistants. In addition, the SRA will have the opportunity to assist with the preparation of manuscripts for publication and posters, and support any revisions that are required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
