PSY 1 Introduction to Psychological Science, Professor Jason Mitchell – Mon/Wed 10:30-11:45am

“Psychology 1 is not just an introduction to the field of psychology but an owner's manual for the human mind — and an opportunity to explore some of the most fascinating issues in intellectual life. After laying a foundation in concepts about the brain, evolution, information, nature and nurture, and scientific approaches to psychology, the course covers specific topics including perception, cognition, attention, learning, memory, emotion, decision making, consciousness, development, language, personality, individual differences, psychopathology, social cognition, cooperation and conflict, and love and sex.”

PSY 1900 Introduction to Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, Dr. Grace Lin – Tues/Thurs 10:30-11:45am

3 sections available (.25 FTE each) – proficiency in R required

“Provides a conceptual and practical introduction to statistics used in psychology and other behavioral sciences. Covers basic topics in statistics including: measures of central tendency and variability; probability and distributions, correlations and regression, hypothesis testing, t-tests, analysis of variance, and chi-square tests. Includes a lab section with instruction in statistical analysis using a computer program.”

General TF/TA duties include attending lectures, leading weekly discussion or lab sections, holding office hours, grading assignments and exams, attending teaching meetings, and related duties as outlined by the course instructor.

Interested candidates should email me (alexandra_pagano@harvard.edu) a copy of their resume/CV and a short description of their interest and qualifications to be shared with course instructors.
