Project tasks: The main role for student research assistants will be to run participants through the study, collect data, input data, and do maintenance tasks around the lab (light cleaning, prepping for visits, inventory, etc.).

Duration of research experience: Spring and Fall 2025

Time commitment: 3-9 hours

Will this be in person or remote: In a lab
