UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT OPENINGS IN RUSCIO LAB

Deadline for applications – Friday, October 25th, 2024, at 11:59 pm

Description:

NOW RECRUITING FOR FALL OR SPRING 2025: The Boundaries of Anxiety and Depression Lab in the Department of Psychology at Penn is seeking undergraduate students to assist with clinical research. Our lab’s research focuses on anxiety and depression. We focus in particular on cognitive, behavioral, and emotional processes that increase risk for these conditions. We study these processes in clinical populations using a variety of approaches, including laboratory experiments, daily diary methods, and psychophysiological measurement.

Our student assistants are exposed to all aspects of the clinical research process (when available), including study planning and design, participant recruitment, data collection and management, library work, and preparing presentations of our research findings for conferences and journals. Lab meetings provide opportunities to learn about the broader field of clinical psychology and to discuss professional and graduate school issues. This is a great chance to learn skills that complement knowledge gained in class and to increase preparation and competitiveness for graduate school.

Qualifications:

We are looking for highly conscientious, responsible, detail-oriented student volunteers who are enthusiastic and self-motivated. Psychology or Neuroscience majors considering graduate school are preferred. No prior research experience is necessary. The position requires an in-person, two-semester commitment of at least 10 hours per week; hours are flexible. The start date for this position can be either fall or sping 2025.

Deadline for applications: Friday, October 25th, 2024

Please download an application here and return it to Grace Chen (Lab Manager) via email by Friday, October 25th.
