<\/a><\/p>\nProfessor Christopher Chabris is seeking an outstanding researcher for a position as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Geisinger Health System. The postdoc will carry out behavioral science research on collective intelligence. Specific research topics may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Measuring the collective intelligence of small groups and teams
\n\u2022 Understanding factors that increase, decrease, and correlate with collective intelligence, such as cognitive ability, social ability, and team composition
\n\u2022 Novel applications of crowdsourcing
\n\u2022 Tournaments as collective intelligence mechanisms
\n\u2022 Applications of collective intelligence research to business and government problems<\/p>\n
The postdoc will report to Professor Chabris, may collaborate with other researchers across disciplines at Geisinger (and with outside colleagues), and will ideally be based in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The postdoc will assist in planning and carrying out web-based surveys, laboratory studies, field studies, and\/or archival research, and in analyzing general patterns of responses as well as individual differences in collective intelligence studies. The postdoc will be expected to employ a combination of approaches, from the identification and analysis of existing real-world data sets, to the design and analysis of field or lab intervention studies that collect process and outcome measures. Prof. Chabris is particularly interested in candidates with strong statistical and computational skills.<\/p>\n
Other duties include contribution to ongoing research projects, preparation of talks and participation in seminars, and drafting reports, grant applications, and papers for publication.<\/p>\n
