Behavioural Science Intern

Based in our offices at Second Home, Spitalfields

Salary: London Living Wage. Two days per week.

You will need to have the right to work in the UK to undertake this role. We cannot sponsor visas.

 

MoreThanNow is a behavioural science practice for the workplace. We conduct academic-standard experiments with some of the largest and best-known organisations in the world.

First and foremost, we’re always looking for new teammates who are excited about applying behavioural science to working lives. If you’re passionate about the topic, wait until you see our experiment portfolio. It’s full of randomised controlled trials, academic collaborations, and some of the most exciting research questions in the workplace. We really don’t think there’s anywhere better to do field trials in our domain - it’s what MoreThanNow was built for, and it’s what will most inspire you to join our mission.

As part of our internship programme, you’ll focus on literature reviews, experiment design and statistical analysis, while building on your experience in relationship and project management in a commercial setting. In addition, you’ll be eager to advocate for behavioural science, translate our findings and inspire a new audience to explore our world.

Finally, while we aspire to do great things, we always work as a team, which means sharing strengths and setting each other up for success. We’re open to flexible working options and we’ll never be about long, pressurised hours. We can’t think of anything less conducive to innovative, high-quality research.
