Research Psychologist

Research Psychologists are non-practicing psychologists who conduct research, experiments, and studies that advance knowledge and clinical practice in the field of psychology. They are employed by research laboratories and academic institutions and (generally) do not provide treatment or support to patients.

As a Research Psychologist you could be conducting a study that examines the connection between genetics and addictive behaviours, developing a methodology to identify and evaluate thought processes and attention span, writing a journal article that discusses the latest findings on sensory processes and how they impact behaviour, or keying participant data from a recent case study.
