Research Psychologist
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what is list vs prose. For responsibilities, we have many sentences; we can make each as
- . For qualifications, we have required and desired bullet-like statements; we can list them.
For skills, similar.
For benefits, list items.
We need to ensure we don't invent or summarize away detail. Keep all details.
Let's extract.
First, About the role: The intro after title: "Around here, we define the future. We are a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers. But we all share one goal: to improve the world responsibly and safely." That's about company. Also maybe "In this role, you will be a key scientist for helping NASA achieve its goals for human spaceflight exploration. You will perform this work in the Behavioral Health & Performance (BHP) Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center." That's also role description. We'll combine into prose.
We'll put that in
.
Now Responsibilities: The list after "What You’ll Do:" includes many sentences each starting with a verb. We'll turn each into
- . Need to ensure we capture all.
Let's copy the responsibilities text:
"In this role, you will be a key scientist for helping NASA achieve its goals for human spaceflight exploration. You will perform this work in the Behavioral Health & Performance (BHP) Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The Research Psychologist will facilitate ongoing studies; write proposals for directed studies and grant solicitations; and complete data analyses and prepare reports, journal articles, and presentations regarding the study results. You will assist in the management and execution of multiple BHP Lab tasks to ensure the team produces high quality, implementable, and timely deliverables that help to reduce the risks associated with the behavioral health and performance of astronauts. You will work on a highly collaborative team, interfacing routinely with our NASA customer, laboratories in the Biomedical Research and Environmental Sciences Division, external PI teams, and provide timely deliverables to stakeholders for BHP Lab products such as Human Research Program, Space Medicine Division, Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP), and Mars Campaign Office. You Will: Work with the NASA BHP Lab Lead to implement research activities related to behavioral health and performance risksDevelop grant proposals in response to research calls from NASA or external funding organizationsDevelop directed research proposals and support directed research in space flight analogs, available flight opportunities, and with medical and mission operations personnelConduct and coordinate data collection, cleaning, and organizationAnalyze and interpret research and operational data, consulting with NASA statisticians for complex issuesDraft interim and final reports, literature reviews and summaries, and project summariesProvide subject matter expertise for research design, methodologies, technologies, and assessments related to behavioral health and performanceDisseminate research findings through presentation to NASA program management, presentations at various national and international meetings and working groups, scientific conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed journalsParticipate in presenting project updates, interim and final results, as well as program objectives and direction to scientists, engineers and managersCollaborate with a variety of contributors and stakeholders including BHP Operations personnel, flight surgeons, mission managers and a multidisciplinary team of personnel to effectively plan and execute the research plansMonitor multiple research project schedules, deliverables, and discuss status of projects with lab project managerProvide inputs to weekly and monthly status reports for NASA technical monitor reviewAssist NASA technical monitors with updates to NASA standards, and periodic review and update of human spaceflight risks especially relates to behavioral health and performanceAdvise and assist in the development of protocols and processes that promote efficient and effective management of the BHP Laboratory projects and personnel.Maintain data quality practices and standards established within the laboratoryLiaise with internal and external collaborators to effectively plan, track, and complete collaborative researchAssist the BHP Laboratory Lead with other duties as assigned to ensure the efficient operation of the lab, or due to NASA’s program requirements changes"
We need to split into separate items. The text includes some run-on sentences without punctuation. We'll need to parse manually.
Let's break by sentences (periods) and also by "You Will:" list which seems to be a series of phrases without punctuation.
Better approach: treat each distinct duty as a list item. We'll extract phrases:
- Be a key scientist for helping NASA achieve its goals for human spaceflight exploration.
- Perform this work in the Behavioral Health & Performance (BHP) Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
- Facilitate ongoing studies.
- Write proposals for directed studies and grant solicitations.
- Complete data analyses and prepare reports, journal articles, and presentations regarding the study results.
- Assist in the management and execution of multiple BHP Lab tasks to ensure the team produces high quality, implementable, and timely deliverables that help to reduce the risks associated with the behavioral health and performance of astronauts.
- Work on a highly collaborative team, interfacing routinely with our NASA customer, laboratories in the Biomedical Research and Environmental Sciences Division, external PI teams, and provide timely deliverables to stakeholders for BHP Lab products such as Human Research Program, Space Medicine Division, Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP), and Mars Campaign Office.
- Work with the NASA BHP Lab Lead to implement research activities related to behavioral health and performance risks.
- Develop grant proposals in response to research calls from NASA or external funding organizations.
- Develop directed research proposals and support directed research in space flight analogs, available flight opportunities, and with medical and mission operations personnel.
- Conduct and coordinate data collection, cleaning, and organization.
- Analyze and interpret research and operational data, consulting with NASA statisticians for complex issues.
- Draft interim and final reports, literature reviews and summaries, and project summaries.
- Provide subject matter expertise for research design, methodologies, technologies, and assessments related to behavioral health and performance.
- Disseminate research findings through presentation to NASA program management, presentations at various national and international meetings and working groups, scientific conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
- Participate in presenting project updates, interim and final results, as well as program objectives and direction to scientists, engineers and managers.
- Collaborate with a variety of contributors and stakeholders including BHP Operations personnel, flight surgeons, mission managers and a multidisciplinary team of personnel to effectively plan and execute the research plans.
- Monitor multiple research project schedules, deliverables, and discuss status of projects with lab project manager.
- Provide inputs to weekly and monthly status reports for NASA technical monitor review.
- Assist NASA technical monitors with updates to NASA standards, and periodic review and update of human spaceflight risks especially relates to behavioral health and performance.
- Advise and assist in the development of protocols and processes that promote efficient and effective management of the BHP Laboratory projects and personnel.
- Maintain data quality practices and standards established within the laboratory.
- Liaise with internal and external collaborators to effectively plan, track, and complete collaborative research.
- Assist the BHP Laboratory Lead with other duties as assigned to ensure the efficient operation of the lab, or due to NASA’s program requirements changes.
That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements section: "What You Bring:" paragraph: "You bring experience leading research design and execution to help answer applied human spaceflight questions. You use your experience and judgment to develop innovative solutions to problems that will inform NASA’s future spaceflight mission planning and preparation. As a key part of our safety culture, you will comply with KBR’s Safety, Health and Environmental Plan, Quality Plan, and all safety policies and procedures, and complete all assigned training."
We could treat that as prose or list. It's not a list; we can put in
. But we have a separate Requirements section; we could put that paragraph there.
Then "Required: Your Qualifications:" list:
- Ph.D. and at least 3 years of experience in one of the following areas of psychology: Neuropsychology, Clinical, I/O Psychology, Space Psychology, Health Psychology, Behavioral Medicine
- Experience conducting behavioral health and performance research, conducting literature reviews, and collecting and analyzing behavioral health and performance data
"Desired:" after qualifications:
- Prior experience in managing, coordinating, and directing research projects.
- Prior experience with NASA, Aerospace, Military, or operational environments
We could include both required and desired under Qualifications section, maybe separate subheadings? But instruction only allows headings as listed; we can include both required and desired as list items within Qualifications section, maybe marking with (Required) or (Desired) but not inventing. We could keep them as separate list items; it's okay.
Now Skills section: "Required: Your Skills:" list:
- Proficient with software tools used by the lab including MS Office, R, and RMarkdown
- Proven ability to apply research methodology for evaluating proposals and research design
- Demonstrated technical and scientific writing ability, completing all levels of writing, such as research reports and summaries, briefings, technical reports, and project plans, etc.
- Possess broad understanding of behavioral health and performance outcomes required for individuals required to function effectively in an isolated, confined environment during long-duration exploration missions (e.g., performance, cognition, mood)
- Highly ethical and respectful of human research data confidentiality, protections, and intellectual property
- Demonstrated excellence in effective communication and presentation skills with varied audiences, including various levels of management, internationals, scientists, medical professionals and engineers

- Successful project management experience
- Ability to be flexible and adapt quickly to changing requirements
- Demonstrated ability to interpret requirements for real-time implementation
- Demonstrated interpersonal effectiveness and professionalism in working with others in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.
"Desired:" after skills:
- Demonstrated ability to evaluate proven or developing technologies for measuring and assessing behavioral health outcomes as well as evaluating and applying countermeasures in a spaceflight environment.
We'll include those as list items.
Now Benefits section: from "Why
