Undergraduate Research Assistant
Prevention and Early Adversity Research Lab
Full Position Description: HERE
Description:
The URA position is related to a contracted research project with an early care and education center in Washington, DC serving young children ages 0-5. URAs will develop relationships with parents and school personnel to build rapport and conduct good-quality research. URAs may be responsible for conducting child assessments including measures of language, cognition, and school readiness, as well as parent interviews. Additional duties include entering data, reviewing relevant literature, and helping with the organization of the project.
