GAINING EXPERIENCE
Volunteer Undergraduate Research Assistants Needed
• We are currently conducting the adolescent phase of a large longitudinal study examining the relationship between aspects of youth’s cognitive development and health outcomes. We are looking for outstanding and motivated students with a 3.5 GPA or higher to help with data entry, scanning, and routine office tasks. Students with late afternoon and/or evening availability are also needed to assist with lab sessions. Other special projects may be assigned based on interest and skill. Student volunteers should be available for 4-6 hours per week. As paid positions or course credit options arise, they will be offered to students who have first demonstrated excellence in a volunteer position. These positions are within Dr. Timothy Nelson’s Pediatric Health Lab, located in the 501 Building’s Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab space.
