Psychology - Learning Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant
Responsibilities: We are searching for responsible, motivated, and organized undergraduates to join our Learning Lab team for research projects on gender-based stereotype threat and survey measurements. We are filling two separate positions for our gender-based stereotype threat study, and one position for the survey measurements study.
Study Lead: The first position we are seeking to fill is for male-identifying individuals who would lead the running of stereotype-threat study visits. This position involves direct interaction with college-age participants in our lab space. Specific tasks during study visits include obtaining informed consent, running tasks programmed in E-Prime, collecting questionnaire data via the Qualtrics platform, and debriefing participants.
Study Assistant: The second position we are seeking to fill is for study assistants who can assist the running of stereotype-threat study visits. This individual helps set up the lab for study visits, supports the lead runner during study visits, and assists with data management.
Recruitment Coordinator: The final position we are seeking to fill is a recruitment coordinator for a study exploring how well certain questionnaires assess social and emotional experiences among people with and without LGBTQ+ identities. This position focuses on participant recruitment and oversight for an online survey study. Specific tasks include emailing potential participants, tracking study participation, awarding compensation, and overseeing data management.
