General Description
Postdoctoral Fellowship in emotional intelligence and team work
The CUNY Office of Research is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral position. The position will be located in New York, New York.
We seek candidates whose interests align with the goal of investigating the psychological and behavioral processes that underlie team functioning. This work aims to help optimize emotional intelligence in the context of intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning with the goal of encouraging maximally effective team processes and increasing the capacity to launch successful small business start-up ventures. Research participants will be participating in the NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program, via our NY Regional Hub.
Fellows will work collaboratively with others in the New York I-Corps Regional Hub to foster an interdisciplinary research approach. Members of the research team includes, among others, I-Corps team training, emotions and emotional intelligence, evaluation, and statistical experts, and others. The research mission is to understand the influence of training emotional intelligence abilities on behavioral and social issues that foster team processes resulting in economic potential. This postdoctoral fellowship will provide training at the intersection of emotional intelligence abilities, team science, and research methods. Opportunities exist in a range of areas, including behavioral intervention (e.g., pre-/post- design, randomized control trials), advanced statistical modeling (e.g., longitudinal, multifactorial, nested methods), and objective assessment of emotional and social behavior and team science. Responsibilities include the management of the interdisciplinary research project (project communication, help with intervention development, data collection and data management, supervision of project coordinator) as well as data analysis and preparing of publications. Ideal candidates will have a strong background in experimental behavioral science research, advanced statistical modeling and use of SPSS, excellent project management skills, research interests in emotion, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to open science.

Length of the fellowship is negotiable. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, and names of three references.
