The Roman Family Center for Decision Research at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business anticipates hiring a Principal Researcher/Chief Scientist (postdoctoral) for a period of 1 year, potentially renewable for an additional 1-2 years, starting in Summer or Fall of 2025. The Principal Researcher/Mindworks Lab Chief Scientist role is designed to support a talented behavioral scientist in generating significant research contributions to behavioral science disciplines (e.g., psychology, economics). The primary duty for the Principal Researcher will be to conduct this research both independently and in collaboration with Booth Faculty in the Roman Family Center for Decision Research (RF-CDR), with particular encouragement to advance high-quality, cutting-edge experimental research. Accordingly, the principal researcher should demonstrate an outstanding capacity to generate original research questions, implement studies to investigate those questions, and to manage engagement with participants and visitors in unique experimental settings (e.g., companies, public spaces, museums).
