The School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham is seeking to appoint a Research Associate/Fellow to support Dr Laura Blackie.
This position is funded by a John Templeton Foundation research grant titled: ‘Clarifying the Virtue Profile of the Excellent Thinker’. The project has an interdisciplinary team and will involve collaboration with psychologists and philosophers based at Wake Forest University and Whitworth University in the USA to identify the psychological traits that characterise people with exemplary intellectual character. The Research Associate/Fellow will lead on a specific project within the larger grant to investigate whether there are individual differences in intellectual character that manifest in how people narrate their life stories and explain situations that require the exercise of their intellectual character, such as admitting errors in judgment or handling of interpersonal conflict.
