The Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience of Psychopathology (CANoPy) lab is looking for 2 undergraduate research assistants for PSYC 290 credit to help with coordination, planning, and data collection for a newly designated fMRI study on stress and anxiety. We appreciate prior research or programming experience, but it is not required to apply! Highly qualified applicants can be considered for a more in-depth role in coordination of the study, or task design, while other roles involve data collection, interaction with participants, and quality control for collected data.
This is phase 2 of a completed behavioral study on stress and anxiety. The new phase of the study will use computer tasks, fMRI, EKG, eye tracking, and survey data to investigate different facets of anxiety during potentially stressful situations. New RAs would join our lively team of RAs to learn experimental protocols around working with participants and consistent, quality data collection in the MRI scanner.
We ask for a time commitment of around 8 hours per week, in segments of 2-3 hours, with the knowledge that needs will fluctuate from week to week. The lab will accept applications until 9/18/24 and will begin reaching out for interviews shortly after.
