The UBC Social Health Lab (SHL) is recruiting volunteer research assistants. The SHL is a Health Psychology Lab at the UBC’s Department of Psychology. Among other things, SHL studies the effect of hormones on our behaviour which will be the focus of your work as a research assistant!

SHL is looking for motivated undergraduate students who:

  • Are interested in health and clinical psychology research
  • Have great interpersonal skills
  • Have excellent attention to detail
  • Can commit to 6-8 hours per week (preferably in the afternoons and evenings) for at least 2 terms

This position requires excellent communication and organisation skills as well as high attention to detail. Volunteers will be involved in series of studies that aim to assess the effect of sex hormones on women’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. This is a great opportunity to gain invaluable hands-on experience in a dynamic research environment. You would likely learn to interact with participants from different age groups (e.g., adolescents and adults), get exposed to data entry, learn about biological measures of stress, and learn about cognitive tasks that assess emotion recognition and reward processing!

To apply, fill out this form.
You may contact the SHL Lab managers if you have any questions at: chenlabmgr@psych.ubc.ca
