Prospective Research Assistants

Do you want to gain research experience?
We are always looking for motivated undergraduate and post-undergraduate students (post-bacs) wanting to study and research of variety of aspects of the behavioral and social sciences. Much of our research could be of interest to students wishing to pursue graduate work in a variety of fields, such as clinical, developmental, cognitive and social psychology areas, social work, counseling, and medicine. Students in the CAIP Lab receive extensive research and clinical training in diagnostic and treatment protocols for specific psychological conditions in childhood and adolescence, namely social anxiety in teenagers.  Students also may receive training in comprehensive and longitudinal assessments of normative psychological phenomena, such as parent-child relationship characteristics, parental monitoring, and parent-child discrepancies in perceptions of everyday events.  If you are interested in attaining research experience, please use the link below to apply for a volunteer research assistant position:

Please note that a minimum 2 semester commitment of 10 hours per week is required (6 hours in-person, 4 hours virtual), as is availability to assist on assessments conducted over the weekend (NOTE: CAIP Lab makes exceptions for weekend availability based on religious observances).


At the Comprehensive Assessment and Intervention Program (CAIP), we conduct clinic-based research trying to understand the best ways to assess and treat behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents. 

Current studies:
   
  • Clinic-based study testing new ways of assessing social anxiety symptoms in web-based environment.

  • Managing data collection
  • Assisting with administrative duties at CAIP
  • Assistance on evenings and weekends, with training at regular intervals during the week.
Skills: 
  • Volunteers will be trained in-person on tasks related to the study. We expect volunteers to commit to a minimum of 6 hours a week working on the study. Additionally, we expect volunteers to commit roughly 4 hours in assisting in work related to the functioning of the CAIP lab, including weekly meetings and professional development meetings.
