Courses and Job Responsibilities:
PSY3040 RESEARCH LAB 1 & PSY3041 RESEARCH LAB 2 (Courses are linked-instructor oversees both sections simultaneously with typically fewer than 15 students total)
This is a three-credit course in which a small group of students have the opportunity to participate in research. Students can work on projects in collaboration with local hospitals or projects which emerge from our collaborations with other universities or our own studies. For the hospital projects, students work on studies involved in health and health care. For the other projects, students work on issues in health and health care disparities, with studies focused both in basic mechanistic research and interventions. Students serve as research assistants for the projects. They conduct literature reviews and work with the collaborators to refine the literature search and communicate the information. They learn basic skills in data management and analysis, working with data from electronic health records, surveys, or data collected in our laboratory. They learn to write abstracts and poster presentations about the study. Every student participates in at least one abstract submission and poster presentation. They learn critical skills in research collaboration and materials management, including learning how to provide and receive feedback, how to persist in difficult tasks, and how to work with groups that are diverse in terms of professional experience and roles as well as sociodemographic backgrounds.
Advanced Research Methods in Psychology 2 (PSY3041).
The second term of the course is more advanced. Students who have completed Psych 3040 now have the opportunity to develop more advanced leadership skills as they guide new students in the projects. They work on more advanced stages of the research, conducting analyses more independently and guiding the development of abstract submission and poster development.

• Guide students to work collaboratively on all phases of research projects (literature reviews, hypothesis development, IRB submissions, data collection/management/analysis, submission of abstracts to local and national conferences).

Qualifications:

• MA in Psychology or related fields including Data Analytics
• Strong skills and knowledge about research design, implementation, and data analysis
