We are not currently accepting research assistant applications.
Thank you for your interest in joining the THRIVE Lab! At this time, we are not accepting applications for undergraduate or post-baccalaureate research assistants. Please check back in the future for new opportunities to join the lab.
Research assistants in the THRIVE Lab gain experience conducting research focused on adversity, trauma, protective factors, mental health, mental health service utilization, cultural adaptations, and working with marginalized youth, families, and communities, with a particular focus on Latine communities.
Research assistant positions may be available on a volunteer basis or for course credit (PSYC 489). When positions are available, we typically require a minimum one-year commitment and a 3.0 GPA.
