Economy of Well-Being: Harnessing Behavioral Science for Resilient Societies | Research Program

Dear Students,

The Junior Researcher Programme (JRP) is currently looking for Bachelor’s and Master’s students in psychology and/or behavioural sciences to become a Junior Researcher at jSchool 2024. The jSchool enables students from around the world to conduct a 13-month research project under the supervision of early-career researchers, as well as an opportunity to network and meet other students and early-career researchers.

This year’s jSchool will occur from the 7th to the 13th July 2024 in Siena, Italy. This year’s theme will be Economy of Well-Being: Harnessing Behavioral Science for Resilient Societies. Junior Researchers can select from five proposed projects and will help to develop this study idea further in their teams during jSchool and the following 13 months within the structure of the JRP. The cost for jSchool is £450 (inclusive of accommodation, most meals, and all events); travel expenses are not included. The Programme finishes with the annual JRP Conference held at Corpus Christi College at the University of Cambridge.

More information on this year’s projects and the application can be found on our website.

Before you apply, please make sure you have read the application guidance document. If you are wondering if you are eligible to apply, please check out our interactive eligibility checker. Applications are open until 23:59 CEST on May 1st 2024 via this form.

If you have any questions, you are very welcome to contact us (jschool@pscholars.org). We are also hosting two Q&A sessions on Zoom for any questions you might want to ask us directly. We are hosting two sessions to accommodate more people and take time zones into account, but they will otherwise be the same. The first session will be held on Saturday, 13th April, at 5 pm CEST. You can register for it HERE. The second session will be held on Saturday, 27th April, at 11 am CEST, and you can register for it HERE.

Best wishes,
