The Psychology of Extremism Lab has
several opportunities available for undergraduate research assistants in Spring

resort to extreme actions, or what makes some people more likely to become
extremists, these are the kinds of questions we explore. The following positions are available:
One Lab Research Assistant: Help

acts. Applicants must be able to work in
the lab at least 5 hours/week and have an overall GPA of 3.0 or greater.
