What:   Many lab manager and research assistant positions in psychology are advertised by word of mouth, obtained through networking, or influenced by the institution an applicant attended. This structure of employment advertising is inherently biased and puts historically underrepresented minorities and students at non-research focused institutions at a distinct disadvantage. It is our hope that, by sharing these opportunities more broadly, we will be able to advertise opportunities for full-time research positions or paid research experiences that would otherwise not be publicized as widely.

When:   Our emails will be sent once a month. We will only send opportunities that are paid (full time or summer positions), offer course credit, or provide services to students (e.g., Diversity Visiting Days).

Who:   Right now we focused on getting the listserv in the hands of faculty and staff who can distribute it to their departments, rather than individual students. One exception: undergraduate students in leadership positions in affinity groups, cultural houses, or other organizations that primarily serve members traditionally underrepresented in academia are eligible to subscribe, if they can commit to forwarding our e-mails to other members of their group.

Please:   As a recipient of this listserv, we ask that you share this and future emails with undergraduates or recent graduates interested in psychology at your institution.
