Research Assistants (RAs) in the 3D lab work on two projects: the Young Adult Court Study and the Road to Reentry Study
For all studies, RAs are primarily responsible for tracking youth between interviews, scheduling interviews with youth, and interviewing youth face-to-face in the community or in correctional facilities. Additional responsibilities vary based on need, but may include data entry, literature searches and reviews, and file management tasks.
Research Assistants in the 3D lab gain valuable research experience, mentorship opportunities, and may earn course credit as well.
Hiring Process
Each quarter, the Development, Disorder, and Delinquency Lab evaluates a need for Research Assistants. New RAs are typically selected at least once a year, at the beginning of the quarter. We maintain a waiting list for applicants interested in future work in the lab when we are not actively recruiting RAs.
Selection Criteria
Research Assistants in the 3D lab must have
- Dedication, motivation, and an interest in psychology, criminal law, and research
- A GPA of 3.0 or higher
- A car and car insurance
- A 10 hours per week commitment to lab
- The ability to spend 12 full, consecutive months (including summer months) in lab
