The SDL is often looking for motivated undergraduate students to assist with the mission and research of the lab. Undergraduate Research Assistants (UGRAs) are involved in all aspects of research in the lab, including participant recruitment, data collection, data entry, and data analysis.  UGRAs often focus on one project in the lab based on their individual interests (e.g., working with children or adults). In some cases, UGRAs are also involved in study design and data presentation through conferences or papers.   Research experience in the SDL provides undergraduates with hands-on training and mentorship regarding research in psychology and is valuable experience for students interested in pursuing an advanced degree in psychology or related fields.  Students with interests in developmental psychology, peer relationships, gender, aggression, and psychophysiology are especially well-suited for work as an UGRA in the SDL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGRAs eligible for Work Study may receive compensation for their work. Alternatively, UGRAs may earn course credit for their research activities by completing an independent study<\/a>. Honors students may also complete an Honors Project<\/a> in the SDL and CAS students that are eligible may earn College Honors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an application<\/a> for working in the SDL. These positions are competitive.  Successful students in the SDL are reliable, hard-working, and interested in psychological research.  Most students in the SDL work for at least two semesters in the lab.  Many students continue for more than 2 semesters, and the opportunities available to these students tend to be more varied than those available to new UGRAs.  Decisions regarding UGRAs are often made a semester in advance (e.g., decisions regarding UGRAs for spring are made near the end of the fall semester); as a result, please submit the application as soon as possible.  You can download an application here, or contact us by email to learn more about UGRA positions in the SDL. Students interested in joining the SDL must complete the UGRA SDL Application. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
