Research Assistant Opportunities for Students
For Students
Psychology students who are interested in working closely with a professor to conduct cutting-edge research are encouraged to join a research lab. Below are active (or soon-to-be active) research projects that have open positions for Research Assistants. Read about each project to learn more about the application procedure and the contact information of the faculty member conducting that research. For a list of faculty and their research interests, visit the Psychology Faculty Directory.
Do you need funding or support in order to participate in research? See Support for Student Research page.
For Faculty Only
Faculty can submit Research Opportunities to have their labs listed in this repository of Research Assistantships. Be sure to add a date for when this opportunity expires so that this repository always reflects the current needs of your lab. It is recommended that the expiration date is no later than 1 year from the current date and that you post again next year to reflect the current project goals and activities.
