Want to research the positive development and family assets of racially/ethnically minoritized teens? Join the FAM&I Lab in the Department of Psychology at the University of Rochester!

As a research assistant, you will gain fundamental research skills like conducting interviews and surveys and managing large-scale datasets, as well as professional skills like verbal and written communication and project management. You can also learn about graduate school and possible next steps in your career! We are looking for intellectually curious and responsible research assistants who can commit 10-15 hours per week for a minimum of 2 semesters. 

Undergraduate students in the UR Psychology Department can earn up to 4 credits per academic semester for their work on this project by enrolling in PSYC 395 (“Independent Research”). 

Master's and Doctoral students in the Warner School of Education can also earn credits by enrolling in research apprenticeship.

Not a UR Student? You can inquire about becoming a research assistant volunteer!
