Lab Manager Position - Culture, Diversity and Inequality Lab

[boris]

Hi everyone,

Hope your application season is going well. If not or if you're looking for lab manager positions, please see below. If you're interested in anything related to inequality, culture, diversity etc. this is a great position (speaking from experience). I did this position and now am a grad student working with Prof. Stephens.

If you're interested in her research see the following - http://www.nicolemstephens.com/

She is definitely open to getting the lab manager involved in the research beyond a superficial level.

I won't be applying as I'm currently an RA and will be starting grad school in the fall (!), but I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of Nicole Stephens' work, especially the first generation college student intervention work! You're lucky to be involved in such awesome research!

Thanks so much!! Really appreciate it. Good luck and congrats on starting grad school!

I saw this posted on the SPSP CareerConnect page and I really want to apply, but I'm waiting to hear back from grad apps still (especially the MA one's I've just submitted) and don't want to potentially commit to a position until I know for sure. Do you know how long the timeline is? I saw that they will keep taking applications until the position is filled but I just can't imagine a great position like this one will stay open for long! Which is unfortunate because it's absolutely perfect for my interests.
