About the role

The Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia seeks a Lab Manager and Research Assistant to support two social psychology labs. The role splits time between professors' labs, administering studies in lab and field, and preparing datasets with preliminary analyses. Ideal candidates are organized, independent, and able to supervise undergraduates. This on-site role is based in Charlottesville, VA, and involves coordinating stimuli and research materials.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
