Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Salary: Open
Internal Number: 12759
School: Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area: Psychology
Position Description:
Animosity between Republicans and Democrats has reached new heights, threatening American democracy. The Cooperation Game initiative is developing a scalable, evidence-based strategy for reducing partisan animosity using cooperative online quiz games. This project is a collaboration between Harvard University and the Global Development Incubator. It is supported with seed funding from Schmidt Futures, Open Philanthropy, Beyond Conflict, and the Global Development Incubator. This translational project builds on the Greene Lab's recent experimental research in which Republicans and Democrats cooperate as game partners in real time. We aim to deploy our quiz games in organizational contexts (e.g., businesses, schools) and eventually through a publicly accessible online platform. Our current focus is on the partisan divide in the US, but there may be opportunities to expand this work to other nations.
The Cooperation Game Initiative seeks a full-time Fellow/Researcher/Data Scientist to manage the technical aspects of this project. This individual will manage the testing of a custom-built quiz game app involving real-time interaction between users. Key responsibilities will be:
- Coordinating testing sessions with organizational partners and the Cooperation Initiative team
- Maintaining, analyzing, and visualizing data collected with app.
- Working with software developers to refine app
- Helping with preparation of scientific papers, research reports, and funding applications
- Working with a digital marketing firm to recruit users online
- Developing methods for incentivizing/compensating online users
- Working with the founding leadership team to create an independent non-profit for large-scale deployment of the app
- Documenting all processes and research.
Working Conditions
- Cambridge, MA (Hybrid arrangements may be possible for this position.)
- Occasionally required to work outside of normal business hours, and may be contacted during off hours
Additional Information
This position reports to Prof. Joshua Greene, Harvard University, Department of Psychology and the Cooperation Game Initiative leadership.
The salary range for this position is $70,000–$90,000.
This is a one-year term position with renewal dependent upon continuation of funding.
