Seeking a research assistant for an international scientific project on the relation
between Olfaction and emotion.
Research assistant needed for testing patients in MGH with simple behavioral psychological
tests concerning emotional perception, emotional experience and moral decision making.
Testing involves computer tasks, paper/pencil inventories, and olfaction and taste/flavor
tests (duration of each testing session ~1-1.5 hours).
Work load is 5 hours a week. Exact days will be coordinated with the RA, depending on
patient availability. Pay is $36 per hour and the position is open for 12 months.
Please note that actual work load is flexible: some weeks may go a bit over 5 hours and
some weeks a bit below 5 hours (some weeks may have no patients at all) - but the
position will pay the same flat rate per 5 hours a week. So, the overall annual pay will
be $8640.
Requirements: The RA must be committed for one year minimum, reliable and comfortable
working with patients in a hospital setting. Second/third year psychology students,
experienced with running psychological lab testing, and /or clinical patient work are
especially welcome.
The RA will be required to go through brief MGH staff health-clearance to work with
patients and will undergo brief training before starting. Supervision will be available
during the year, as needed.
