the psych department at Waikato (in Hamilton, New Zealand) is recruiting at the junior level, in developmental and/or perception/cognition (in NZ 'lecturer' means 'assistant professor', and is a permanent role)

Registration for the Person Memory Meeting (Oct 13-16 in Lisbon, POR) is open! Info is here jacquelinemchen.wixsite.com/personmemory

Celebrating these strong, talented women (Becky Neufeld, Hanna Cooley, and Yun Tang) who are graduating from our social psych PhD program this year!

As expected, NSF is cutting gender and sexual orientation data on U.S. STEM workforce surveys (on shaky legal ground). I'm grateful that following my request (shorturl.at/9rFMW) OMB required NSF to post an official rationale, which will be crucial to how we'll restore these questions in the future.

🎺JOB ALERT👀: We (@LMU Munich) are hiring a postdoc (full-term) for the coordination of META-REP, a metascientific research consortium (www.lmu.de/psy/de/forsc...). Application deadline May 15, 2025. See full job ad here: job-portal.lmu.de/jobposting/3.... Contact me if you need more info!

I’m stunned and dismayed at this news. It’s a loss to the field that Franki’s research agenda has been undermined.

Job alert 🚨 We’re hiring a full-time research staff assistant at Columbia starting Fall 2025! The position will focus on several topics in the lab, including the cognitive & neural mechanisms underlying dynamic social perception using fMRI & natural language processing. Link: freemanlab.org/ra2025

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵 On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE). The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases: "not subject to appeal"

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
