Postdoctoral Scholar for the Behavioral Decision Making Group
University of California Los Angeles
Details
Posted: 28-Nov-24
Location: Los Angeles, California
Type: Full-time
Internal Number: 5834326
University of California Los Angeles
Requisition Number: JPF10046
UCLA Anderson anticipates hiring up to 2 postdoctoral fellows to join the Behavioral Decision Making area in the summer of 2025, in an initiative to promote career growth and broad impact for scientists interested in innovative, rigorous, and applied behavioral science research. Each fellowship will have a term of up to 3 years, conditional on satisfactory annual evaluations of research activity.
The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by level at appointment. See Table 23.
These positions are designed to support skilled scientists in making behavioral research contributions that can substantially advance both theory and practice in human judgment, decision making, and other domains of behavior (including, but not limited to, research in ethics; conflict; incentives and human motivation; behavioral AI and technology; inequality and social bias). Before starting this position, fellows must have their PhD (or at least a successful dissertation defense) in a discipline related to behavioral science (e.g., social or cognitive psychology, economics, organizational behavior, public policy, public health), demonstrable skill in advancing behavioral research, and a readiness to partner with real-world organizations on research in naturalistic settings. Candidates may add further value with a commitment to the success and mentorship of students from underrepresented and underserved populations, with an enthusiasm for building ties across disciplines and across the university, and with experience in organizing relationships between partners in academia, policy, and commercial practice.
Once hired, successful fellows will be expected to continue their active research programs, as well as to support complementary departmental activities that promote the success of our diverse community (e.g., development of field research partnerships, mentoring and professional development for students from a broad range of backgrounds). To this end, fellows will be encouraged to work both independently and in collaborations of their choosing to enrich the empirical research contributions of the school.
Supplemental support will include a research budget, full access to the services of the Anderson Behavioral Lab, and privileged access to resources of the Behavioral Science and Policy Association.
Review of candidates for the positions will begin on February 1. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation, a representative manuscript, and a research statement describing their interests (including any specific faculty collaborators and/or projects they would like to pursue as part of the fellowship). In order to receive full consideration, please submit your application materials online at https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10046.
For questions about any of these positions, please contact the BDM Area Admin Office at bdm.admin@anderson.ucla.edu.
