Undergraduate Research Assistant

Undergraduate research assistants are wanted to assist in ongoing research being conducted by Dr. Cope Feurer within the Child and Adolescent Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program (CHAAMP) in the Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Feurer’s lab focuses on the relation between stressful contexts and depression risk in youth, with a particular focus on the affective mechanisms linking stress and depression. Specifically, this lab uses a multiple levels of analysis approach integrating fMRI, EEG, physiology, and behavior to examine which youth are most likely to become depressed in the context of stress exposure, who is most likely to generate stress in their lives, and how stress exposure impacts the development of neurobiological mechanisms of risk.

Undergraduate research assistant volunteers in the lab can be involved in a variety of tasks including, but not limited to, coding life stress events, assisting with laboratory visits, assisting with EEG set up and clean up, preprocessing EEG and physiological data, and data entry.

Research assistants are asked to commit to working in the lab for at least two consecutive semesters for a minimum of 6-8 hours a week.

If interested in applying for a volunteer research assistant position in the lab, please email [email protected] for an application. Applications are due by Friday April 12, 2024 at 5pm.
