Institution: Stanford University
Position: Post-doc fellowship (2+ years)
Lab: Stanford Language and Cognition Lab
PI: Michael C. Frank
Area/Direction:
The development and application of statistical analyses to the rich and multi-faceted datasets emerging from the ManyBabies project.
Some of the following gives an idea of the possible areas of investigating depending on the fellow’s specific interests:
developing meta-analyses of the target phenomena and advancing meta-analytic methods for theoretical synthesis (following, e.g., some of the tools at http://metalab.stanford.edu)
developing computational models of learning and attention using the large ManyBabies datasets involving habituation/familiarization (following work on Bayesian learning models for infancy data, e.g., Frank & Tenenbaum, 2010)
meta-scientific investigations of reproducibility and replicability in infancy.
Preferred Skills:
All applicants to the position are welcome, but ideal applicants will likely have some combination of the following qualifications:
Expertise in child development ideally but not necessarily focusing on infancy research;
Strong statistical and analytical skills, including regression (especially mixed effects models) and Bayesian methods;
Experience with meta-science methods, e.g. meta-analysis, p-curve, etc.;
Good communication and coordination skills in service of interacting with a large and diverse group of researchers around the world; and
Strong programming skills and facility with open science tools (e.g., Open Science Framework, Github, RMarkdown or Jupyter notebooks).
The ManyBabies project values inclusiveness and encourages candidates that bring the personal diversity of all types to the position. We recognize that many otherwise strong candidates will lack one or more of the skills listed above and are prepared to provide appropriate training opportunities. Stanford is an unparalleled environment for work at the intersection of child development and reproducibility. Weekly seminar series in cognition and in development provide opportunities for learning and feedback Stanford also offers many training opportunities in statistical and computational methods through coursework and collaboration. Further, the ManyBabies Governing Board is enthusiastic to interact with and mentor the postdoc as well.

职位基于Stanford Language and Cognition Lab,看了他们的lab主页,印象深刻。ManyBabies是2017年才开始的project,目前网站都很low,充满了挑战和机遇。post中提到了一个软件,可以顺带看一眼。
此外除了Github, RMarkdown or Jupyter notebooks,他们还提到了一个Open Science Framework。OSF最开始的目的是为了联合世界范围内的心理学家来一起重复一些影响力比较大的研究。有知乎专栏,自行科普,会是趋势。
