| OPL Editor Needed |
| The Online Psychology Laboratory (OPL) is an NSF funded online resource. The collection contains 25 fully functional classic experiments designed to illustrate key scientific principles of psychology. Students can participate in the experiments and download data. The completely online resource allows access to large data sets. In addition to the classic experiments, OPL contains interactive demonstrations for a range of content. The OPL Editor would be responsible for soliciting additional experiments and applets for installation into the OPL project. The editor will review the materials for scientific accuracy and functionality. The editor will also write short descriptions of any materials accepted for installation into OPL. The editor will communicate with the APA programmer to ensure that new objects are installed into the OPL project. Someone who is able to serve 2-3 years is desirable. One course reduction per semester is the expected compensation. Please submit a letter of interest, and a current CV to: James E. Freeman, Department of Psychology, P.O. Box 400400, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400. Inquiries may be sent to: freeman@virginia.edu. Applications are due no later than November 1, 2010. |
