This position would be desirable for anyone who:
· Is curious about emotions, sleep, and bruxism
· Desires clinical experience (conducting phone screens and interviews, interacting with participants, etc.)
· Is interested in brain monitoring equipment and data collection (EEG, PSG, EMG, etc.)
· Needs flexible hours (shifts available in evenings, mornings, Fridays, weekends, etc.)
· Seeks a close-knit, supportive work environment
· Enjoys writing literature reviews

Eligibility
The Home-Sleep Study accepts research assistants on a rolling basis. We prefer (but not require) an applicant who is at least an upperclassman in a BA program and possesses previous research (or relevant work) experience. Familiarity with data analysis, programming skills, and access to a car are pluses. This position may occasionally require work outside of regular hours (evenings) to accommodate session schedules.
Commitments
This is an unpaid internship. We provide full-time internship opportunities; however, research assistants may work for a minimum of 20 hours/week. Potential applicants must be willing to commit to a position for at least 6 months (12 months preferred) if applying for a role during the regular year or for at least 3 months if applying for a summer role.
