Description

This is a research opportunity for undergraduate students who are interested in research on sexual assault, social support, PTSD, and alcohol use to help with the IRIS Study. IRIS stands for Identity, Resilience, and Interconnection after Stress.

Research assistants (RAs) will assist with transcribing and coding interviews with sexual assault survivors. RAs may also assist with testing study protocols, providing input on recruitment strategies for related projects, and conducting literature reviews.

We strongly encourage responsible and highly motivated applicants who are looking to gain first-hand psychology research experience. This experience may be particularly valuable for those considering graduate training in psychology. Volunteer or course credit opportunities are available.
