(This job could also be an excellent opportunity for someone to dip a toe into non-tenure-track roles in research infrastructure. I love this work and would be happy to tell you all about why!)

Please feel free to ask me any questions about Children Helping Science, Psych-DS, or this role either on here or at mekline@mit.edu. We are looking to hire a candidate quickly, so please get in touch if you might be interested!

Because this is a temp (<1 year) position & the processes at MIT work a little differently, I'm not yet able to share an exact salary range. You can expect this to be comparable to MIT lab manager salaries for a post-bacc version of the position, or a postdoc salary for a PhD version.

This is an interim position covering a parental leave (mine!) designed to provide continuity for these two growing projects, along with a chance to work with a truly lovely team of software engineers and scientists, and TWO engaged and welcoming online research communities

@Protzko @psforscher @briannosek The "swill milk" analogies are super tempting but I'm not sure if the FDA would have jurisdiction over most of psych/social sciences. I'm trying to decide if I think this work belongs with the funding agencies or somewhere independent from them. The FCC?

@arlen @hye @briannosek Let's hold out for those cool stamper things like the notaries have

@arlen @hye @briannosek I smell a new badge...

@hye @briannosek I think of QA/QC as an internal process...come to think of it there's probably a nice comparison to internal vs. external auditing - they serve different functions in a business, and have different kinds of pitfalls. If academic departments were willing to hire more kinds of research support staff, an internal auditor would be a pretty useful one. Maybe you could bundle this into a single position with some of the 'roving' (vs lab based) team research infrastructure duties.
