Administrative support may include communication with members of the participant pool, maintenance of the Lab website, coordinating lab space scheduling, and ensuring the laboratory space is maintained.
The RA is responsible for maintaining a consistent and constant presence in the lab. The RA also has opportunities to sit in on lab meetings, seminars, and (with faculty permission) occasional graduate-level courses. Supervision may be minimal or intensive, depending on the project; the successful candidate should be able to work well with both styles.
Qualifications
The research assistant must be and independent self-starter who can take initiative, see projects through to completion, and understand the unique priorities and demands of lab-based experimentation. Excellent computer skills (word, excel, html or front page, etc.) are essential; statistics ability desirable. Ability to balance multiple, competing projects and supervisors a must.
