Are you a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher in psychology looking to gain hands-on experience leading your own international research project? Do you have a topic you’re eager to explore across multiple countries and languages? Would you enjoy guiding psychology students from around the world in their exploration of decision-making?

The Junior Researcher Programme (JRP) is recruiting six enthusiastic PhD students or postdoctoral researchers to become Research Supervisors for jSchool 2025, held amidst the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

What is jSchool?

jSchool is the annual launch pad for the JRP, a volunteer-driven, non-profit initiative enabling psychology students to undertake a 13-month research project under the mentorship of early-career researchers — like you!

Each year, several PhD students and postdocs are selected to join the Junior Researcher Programme as Research Supervisors. Projects of successful Supervisors are then advertised to University students of all levels (from undergraduate to postgraduate) and from all nationalities, who can apply to join one of the projects as part of a research team. Research Supervisors oversee their research team (Bachelor and Master students), from the start of the jSchool in July to the end of the Junior Researcher Programme Conference in August the following year. They will have support from the JRP Team throughout their journey.
