Join our lab as a Volunteer Research Assistant

The IMPACT Lab is not currently reviewing applications for undergraduate volunteer research assistants (RAs). 

Duties of volunteer research assistants​

Volunteers will work closely with the principal investigator, research staff, and other volunteer research assistants on various aspects of research projects.

​

Sample Responsibilities: 

  • Assist with literature reviews

  • Assist with data entry, ensuring data reliability and compliance

  • Perform basic data cleaning, analysis, coding, and organization

  • Help prepare materials and documentation for study visits

  • Attend weekly lab meetings

  • Participate in bi-weekly journal club meetings

  • Maintain confidentiality and ethical standards in handling research data

  • Other administrative or research-related tasks as needed​

Qualifications for volunteer research assistants

Volunteers must be willing to commit to at least 10 hours of lab work each week for at least one year (or two academic semesters). All of our team members are expected to complete work in person at the Child Study Center in Manhattan (One Park Avenue at 32nd Street). We do not accept remote volunteers at this time. 

​​

Prior research experience is NOT a requirement. As long as you are interested in learning about the research process, are hard-working, and are open to learning and working on new tasks, you would be eligible to work as a research assistant.​

Additionally, prior experience working with children or adolescents is not required, but is valued. ​​​

The lab application requires detailed responses and will take time to complete. We aim to respond within one week.
