Research Assistants

Research assistants are extremely valuable to the ongoing work and continued research performed at the Atkinson Behavioral Lab. 

The lab is always interested in motivated undergraduate students who will volunteer to assist with research. Research assistants are able to gain experience in a variety of activities. They also are able to help run experiments and assist with the recruitment of research participants across the UC San Diego campus. An interest in behavioral research is essential and previous experience is a plus. 

Research assistants are volunteers and do not receive any financial compensation. They are expected to commit approximately three to five hours a week to lab activities.

Anyone interested in volunteering can contact the lab manager at radyclasscredit@ucsd.edu to learn more. Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
