Research Assistant- Psychology

2 weeks ago


Wolverhampton, United Kingdom University of Wolverhampton Full time

Researchers in the Centre for Psychological Research, within the Department of Psychology at the University of Wolverhampton are carrying out a study into beliefs about conspiracy theories and the relationship with unusual beliefs and experiences.

**UW7 - 2 days per week casual contract, temporary until July 2023**:
Researchers in the Centre for Psychological Research, within the Department of Psychology at the University of Wolverhampton are carrying out a study into beliefs about conspiracy theories and the relationship with unusual beliefs and experiences. Belief in conspiracy theories have been brought to the fore in recent years due to salient global events such as the pandemic, misinformation and mistrust of authorities. Establishing mechanisms that drive belief in conspiracy theories is important since this has implications for public health and for people that hold such beliefs.

The Research Assistant will work closely with the research team at the University of Wolverhampton to develop and carry out empirical work in this area. This will require skills in quantitative research methods, as the researcher will be assisting in the collection and analysis of a large-scale survey.

You will be expected to work independently and to assist with the writing of reports and academic articles. You will hold (or be predicted) a good 2.1 degree or equivalent in psychology, with a strong emphasis on experimentation and data analysis. You must have demonstrable experience in quantitative research methods to undertake this post although training will be provided. All applicants must be fluent in spoken and written English.
