Depending on the stages of ongoing projects in the lab, and your unique qualifications, you may gain any of the following research experiences:
- Participant recruitment and retention
- Online data collection
- Clinical interviewing
- Behavioral observations and coding
- Data management and analysis
- Manuscript preparation
- Presentation of research results at local or national conferences
