We are examining the interplay between genes, hormones, risky behavior, and cognitive functioning in a sample of child and adolescent twins in grades 3 to 12. We are seeking reliable assistants who are motivated and have the ability to learn quickly. Research assistants should be comfortable interacting with child and adolescent participants and their parents. You can join as a volunteer or receive course credit by enrolling in PSY 357.

Qualifications: RAs who can commit 10 or more hours per week are preferred. Spanish-speaking is a HUGE plus. Prior research experience is not required. All RAs will be extensively trained on task administration before working with participants. The lab is open 7 days a week in the summer, RAs are asked to commit to two 5 hour shifts a week. Applicants need to be available for both the summer I & II sessions.   

When: 6/3/2019 until Mid-August 2019 with the option to extend
