Research Opportunities
Research Assistantship
Undergraduates can work as research assistants in a faculty member’s lab. Responsibilities can include running experiments, data entry/management, coding, and literature reviews. See our list of open RA positions to get started.
Research Fellowship
The Meliora Psychology Research Fellowship was created to support undergraduate students in facilitating, enhancing, and extending their research training with mentorship from faculty members and graduate students in the Department of Psychology.
The committee welcomes fellowship applications from all students interested in deepening their involvement with research in psychology. We especially seek and encourage applications from students whose background is traditionally underrepresented in psychology.
See the Meliora Psychology Research Fellowship PDF for details. Interested students should apply online.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2020-2021 Meliora Psychology Research Fellowship!
