Research Assistants
If you are interested in our research and would like to work in the lab, please contact us! We ask that you be prepared to commit to 8-10 hours of research per week. As a research assistant, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience building, conducting, and analyzing experiments online and in the lab. We are strongly committed to undergraduate research mentorship, providing training that will sharpen students' empirical-based decision making skills and help prepare them for educational and job opportunities beyond undergrad (e.g., graduate school, medical school, law school, non-profit industry). If you are interested in joining the lab, please fill out this application and email it to the lab manager at gaesserlab@gmail.com.

Ideal candidates will have demonstrated independent abilities in experimental methodology, data analysis, and/or programming. If you are interested in applying to the lab, please email Dr. O'Connor your CV and a description of your research interests. The deadline for applying is December 1st.
