Lab Manager, Department of Psychology - Georgetown University College of Arts and Sciences
About The Position
The research conducted by the Clinical Aging & Relational Emotion Science (CARES) Laboratory examines interpersonal emotional phenomena in connection with healthy aging across the lifespan. Current directions of the lab include: 1) understanding how we share, understand, and influence others’ emotions in ways that affect their depressive symptoms and health, 2) how social and emotional processes go awry in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders and contribute to depressive symptoms and health problems, and 3) interventions to influence social and emotional functioning to reduce depressive symptoms and health problems. The lab manager will be primarily responsible for coordinating an R00 from the National Institute on Aging focused on Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in dyads where one individual has dementia. The lab manager will also be responsible for various tasks that ensure the lab runs smoothly. In addition to conducting research, tasks include assisting with the development of lab infrastructure (e.g., setting up computers, developing internal data storage systems and lab manuals), supporting the lab community (e.g., facilitating lab communication and organizing lab events), and hiring and managing a team of undergraduate research assistants. The lab manager will report directly to the lab director, Dr. Casey Brown.
