Position Highlights

The University of Arizona's Department of Psychology invites you to apply for the role of Research Program Administration Officer III. In this role, you will lead the strategic implementation of the SEMA Lab ecosystem, including identification and deployment of funding opportunities, supporting university and community outreach programs, and building collaborations within and outside the university system.

You will plan and lead the deployment of lab operations through Objective and Key Results (OKRs) and lab goals under the direction of the lab director and PI. You will also play an active role in research activities, including training staff and undergraduate researchers, running projects, and supporting data analysis and write-up. Additionally, you will contribute to the growth of the lab by developing philanthropic initiatives and advancing grant efforts.

At SEMA Lab, we aim to biophysically operationalize the measurement of mindful awareness and clarify, using gold-standard clinical criteria, how these skills serve to significantly increase physiological and psycho-social wellbeing. Our research seeks to deepen our understanding of how mindfulness works and to expand access to its benefits for patients and the broader population.
