Interested in joining the research team?
We seek motivated undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about the behavioral and social sciences. Working in the lab, you will interact directly with families, helping to run studies with children between 2 and 7 years of age. You’ll learn about our current research projects and gain familiarity with study methods and analysis techniques commonly used by developmental psychologists. You’ll also take part in a reading group, exploring contemporary issues in developmental, social, and cognitive psychology more broadly.
Our lab is a supportive, inclusive community. We welcome all and affirm the value of diversity, including differences of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, abilities, economic status, and nationality.
To apply, please send an e-mail to Amanda Woodward, a current doctoral student, at amwoodwa@umd.edu, attaching a completed RA Application and your resume. She will contact you to arrange an appointment to discuss your interests in working in the Lab for Early Social Cognition.
