Gender, Culture, and Health Lab Seeks Research Assistants

The Gender, Culture, and Health Lab is seeking conscientious, detail-oriented undergraduate research assistants who can dedicate at least 3 hours per week to help with studies related to
gender and health outcomes across diverse populations. RAs will be responsible for collecting and managing data, recruiting and running participants, and assisting with other laboratory tasks.
Projects will focus on how gender norms (e.g., masculinity and femininity) affect mental health outcomes, especially related to alcohol and substance abuse, disordered eating, and sexual
assault and violence. Research findings will be used to better understand the intersections of gender and health and to create interventions to improve health outcomes. RAs would be
welcome to join biweekly lab meetings that discuss professional development, issues in counseling/clinical psychology, and other ongoing projects in the lab. In future semesters, RAs
would also have the opportunity to conduct independent research related to gender and health or other topics in counseling/clinical psychology. Depending on skill-level and interest, RAs may
have the opportunity to present posters or participate in papers for publication. A psychology major is not required. Students of diverse and underrepresented backgrounds and identities are
actively encouraged to apply. Students selected to work as RAs can potentially earn research credit. If interested, please fill out the application, and email the completed application
to Thomas Le at tple@terpmail.umd.edu.
