Research Assistant Position
Child Development Lab
Description:
The Child Development Lab is currently investigating the cognitive and socio-emotional development of infants, children, and adolescents. As part of an ongoing, longitudinal study, undergraduate research assistants will interact with subjects at their 12-14 year visit to the laboratory. The scope of our research ranges from clinical interview to neuroscience approaches including EEG and ERP. In addition, students may assist with data entry and the coding of behavioral data and attend informational seminars on current research being conducted in the field. There is a prerequisite of at least a 3.5 major GPA as well as an overall GPA of 3.0. Psychology majors are also required to have completed 9 credit hours in Psychology, preferably including Research Methods. In addition, the research team would like students to make a two-semester commitment to the lab. Learning the procedures of the lab is time consuming, and it is common for the first semester to consist primarily of training.
