As the 2023-24 academic job cycle winds down, I have once again (and for perhaps the last time) scraped the psych job wiki. This year 860 tenure-track jobs were posted, down slightly from last year (897), but still the second-highest number on record.

This is the most comprehensive investigation ever conducted into how people think about social relationships - a true tour de force! Proud to have made a (very small) contribution to it. Check out Yin's thread for the details! 👇🧵
I am beyond excited to share a new preprint from my lab ‘The Conceptual Structure of Human Relationships across Modern and Historical Cultures’. We discovered a universal representational space of social relationship concepts. doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/ut6q…
