Research Associate in Experimental Economics (with Lab Manager responsibilities)

The College of Leicester College of Enterprise (ULSB) is rising its portfolio of behavioural science analysis. As a part of this technique, the College of Enterprise established 8 years in the past a devoted state-of-the-art analysis laboratory, Leicester EXperimental ECONomic (LEXECON) Laboratory, to implement social and financial experiments. Lately, we created the Behavioural and Financial Sciences (BeES) cluster, which hosts LEXECON and brings collectively completely different theoretical and empirical efforts throughout behavioural and financial sciences to ship cutting-edge analysis enhancing our understanding of human behaviour.

To construct on that effort, we at the moment are providing a full-time Analysis Affiliate in Experimental Economics.

This place provides to a researcher the chance to develop their analysis portfolio as a part of the cluster of excellence in Behavioural and Financial Sciences (the BeES Cluster) that includes quite a few students, who’ve printed in high journals in economics (e.g., American Financial Assessment; Econometrica; Financial Journal; Journal of Financial Principle; Journal of Public Economics; Quarterly Journal of Economics) and past (e.g., Administration Science; Judgement and Resolution Making).

Additionally, you will oversee the environment friendly operation of LEXECON and its related assets, together with web-based volunteer registration programs (such because the On-line Recruitment System for Financial Experiments – ORSEE). Reporting to the BeES Cluster Director, you’ll liaise with the LEXECON Initiative Lead. As well as, you’ll be required to carry out the next duties: (i) to have interaction in analysis of a top quality commensurate with publications in main worldwide economics/behavioural science journals; (ii) to play a full position within the mental lifetime of the BeES cluster (alternatives for collaborations with colleagues in areas of shared analysis pursuits can be obtainable); (iii) to participating within the related division seminars, workshops and different tutorial occasions; (iv) to current their analysis at worldwide conferences and analysis workshops; (v) make sure the day-to-day operation of the lab programs; (vi) contribute to the broader strategic and operational administration of the lab (e.g., managing implementation of some experiments together with these on on-line platforms like Prolific).
