The Lab team recruits and manages a participant pool and advertises studies, tests study materials and procedures, assists with procuring specialist equipment and software, collects data and remunerates participants. Lab studies take priority over any other research assistance requests.
Faculty researchers are allocated two Lab Assistants (LA), one to run the experimental procedure and one to manage the access, stewardship of participants to maximise the efficiency in the data collection process for researchers and provide an organised and consistent user-friendly experience for participants..
PhD student researchers are expected to run their own research and are allocated one LA to manage the stewardship of participants.
Proof-reading and testing of surveys for all researchers and managing the data collection phase and remuneration. The lab team runs two types of studies:
Internal:
External:
Outside of the Lab setting, we run field studies on-campus and externally at approved locations.
Researchers can request support with data coding, data entry, categorising information and facilitating the creation of study materials. The level of commitment required for each task will be determined by the Lab manager who will inform researchers if there is a need to outsource this work to a CRA.
The Lab maintains a database of CRAs to assist with faculty and PhD students research requests that are outside of the Lab team’s remit and to cover lab team staff annual leave. Their pay rate would be based on the current London living wage.
