We're so glad that you are interested in applying to be a research assistant (RA) with the Attitudes and Group Identity lab! Our lab takes a team science approach to research, which means we work collaboratively on projects designed to ensure that everyone can both contribute and learn from each other. UC Davis students receive course credit for their time through PSC 190 in the fall and PSC 182 in the winter (both required). Non-UC Davis students and former students are also welcome to apply.

Requirements: Interested in psychological research, able to attend our weekly lab meetings on Fridays 12-1:30pm as part of a two-course sequence in the fall and winter, interested in collaborative and inclusive team science, excellent collaboration skills. 

Position description: Research assistants have the opportunity to become involved in many phases of the research process by collaborating on team projects that involve literature reviews, experimental design, data collection, and research presentations. Our weekly meetings give you a chance to interact with each other and Dr. Ledgerwood, grow your research skillset, contribute your insights to help make our science stronger, and acquire new skills in programs like Qualtrics, Excel, Medialab, R, and SPSS. ​RAs are expected to be active and engaged team members who show up, give input, and support each other in lab meetings and via the lab workspace on Slack.

To apply, please provide answers to the questions below. You'll hear back from us by the end of May.

What is it about this lab and/or social psychological research that interests you?
The Attitudes and Group Identity Lab is very collaborative, and most of our projects involve group work. Please describe your communication style and how you work as a member of a team.
In our lab, we believe that a scientist’s own unique combination of experiences, perspectives, and identities informs the way they approach science. Therefore, we believe science is strongest when research teams include a diversity of vantage points. What perspectives, personal experiences, positions, and/or identities will inform your participation in the lab?
