UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Dr. Joe Allen's Adolescence Research Group is hiring research assistants for the Fall 2027 semester! We are looking for students who are interested in earning 2 credits for 6 hours/week of work starting the Spring 2027 semester.
Research assistants who work during the academic year are able to earn 2 credit hours for 60 hours of lab work during the semester (approximately 6 hours/week). Tasks include conducting interviews with participants, data entry and checking, and other administrative tasks. Research assistants receive ample training in the computer programs and the protocols used in the lab. Students who work on the project for multiple semesters have the opportunity to take on higher-level responsibilities (such as coding data and scheduling participants), and are able to apply for paid positions. Experienced RAs may have the opportunity to work in part-time, paid positions that are available for the summer and entail the same responsibilities as during the academic school year. We are looking for research assistants who are detail-oriented, good at time management, and passionate about psychology!
You must be a UVA student to be eligible for a Research Assistant position. We give preference to Psychology majors with a GPA greater than a 3.0, to those with experience, and to those who can commit to the lab for more than one semester.
If you're interested, please submit a resume, unofficial transcript, and statement of interest to Research Coordinator, Abigail Koehler, at vidaatuva@gmail.com by the end of the day on Thursday, October 15th. In your statement (just a paragraph or two), please be sure to include your research interests/goals. We will conduct informal interviews for a select group of applicants shortly after.
Thanks for your interest!
