Child Development Research Opportunity
The Preston Lab at UT Austin is looking for motivated undergraduate research assistants to assist several neurocognitive development research projects! The overarching aim of these projects is to obtain a better understanding of the development of memory, and how age-related improvements in memory support children’s ability to imagine their future, acquire new knowledge, and navigate the world.
The position will involve substantial behavioral and neuroimaging data collection with children and adults. Additional responsibilities will include (but are not limited to) data entry/processing, transcribing, preparation of experiment materials, and assisting with task development. Some programming experience is desirable but not required. We're primarily interested in students who are genuinely interested in research on child development, conscientious, and dedicated.
The position requires a minimum commitment of nine hours per week. We are also requesting a minimum commitment of three semesters (including this summer), but are specifically looking for applicants who are interested in a long-term research experience spanning more than one year. Some evening and weekend availability is a must in order to accommodate testing sessions with children. This an excellent opportunity to gain research experience if you are interested in pursuing graduate school on a related topic. This is not a paid position, but there are opportunities to obtain course credit depending on one’s undergraduate major.
Interested students should complete the online application at this link no later than January 13. Applications will be reviewed immediately, and interview invitations will be extended later this month.
