About this position
The Behavior Change for Good (BCFG) Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania is recruiting a pre-doctoral research specialist to support large-scale, real-world experiments aimed at promoting behavior change across multiple domains. The project is led by Professors Katherine Milkman and Angela Duckworth and sits within the Wharton School, where the team works with major organizational partners and reaches large populations through randomized field experiments.
The appointed research specialist will work closely with BCFG leadership on multi-site research projects and on communicating the findings from these studies. The role combines research coordination, implementation support, and communications work, with responsibilities that include helping develop research designs, managing data analysis, preparing research reports, disseminating project communications, and supporting the initiative’s broader outreach activities.
