Undergraduate Research Opportunity (Lab Openings)

Research Opportunities,

The Occupational Health Psychology Research Lab in the Department of Psychology, under the direction of Professor Erin Eatough, has two (2) openings for undergraduate research assistants starting this fall. Research assistants would be helping out on studies investigating the role of callings, or feeling called to one’s work, as well as studies on injustice and unfairness in the workplace. The purpose of these studies is to better understand how these factors influence job attitudes, emotions, and the psychological health of employees.

Research assistants need to be able to contribute at least 6 hours per week. RAs would join the lab and work with graduate students as well as Professor Eatough. RA’s will gain experience recruiting subjects, collecting data, and managing databases. There may be opportunities to present the research at conferences if you are interested.

To be considered for an interview, please send your resume or CV (please include your GPA), as well as a brief (<350 word) statement of interest, and the days and times of the week you are available this fall.

Call for Papers: 25th Annual Greater NY Conference on Behavioral Research

Call for Papers, Conferences & Conventions

Call for Proposals
25th Annual Greater New York Conference on Behavioral Research

The science of psychology incorporates a broad range of theoretical perspectives and spans a variety of disciplines. Researchers are often challenged to address societal issues and concerns; needs which are constantly evolving. As such, research findings not only inform the decisions people make; they are also molded by these very same people. This conference will incorporate research from all areas of psychology to get a glimpse at the similarities and differences by which members of the field are addressing today’s important questions.

Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students are invited to submit papers for possible presentation. Presentation proposals (300 word abstracts) are due by 5pm Friday, September 20th, 2013 to [email protected]. Review of presentations will begin following the deadline and decisions will be sent via email.

Submissions should be in MSWord or RTF format, and must include the following: Author name(s) and affiliation(s), address, email and phone number of key presenter, name of faculty mentor (if any). We anticipate mostly symposia and welcome full workshops or symposia centered on a theme. If you are submitting a single paper, we will group you in symposia appropriately.

While conference admission is free, reduced-rate applications are available so each student can join one professional organization on October 27th. Conference directions are available at http://www.sfc.edu/uploaded/documents/pdf/directions.pdf. For additional details contact Conference Chair, Dr. Marisa T. Cohen at [email protected] or Program Chair, Dr. Karen Wilson at [email protected].

REU Program at Brooklyn College

Research Opportunities

Applications to the Brooklyn College Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program are now active. The program, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, gives students the opportunity to design, develop, and execute independent research under the supervision of a mentor from our REU faculty. At the end of the program students are able to present their findings at the Brooklyn College Science Day, a department-wide conference held at the end of the year. In addition to mentored research, students will have the opportunity to participate in a course in ethics training, a neuroscience journal club, and a neuroscience seminar.

Twelve applicants will be accepted for the 2014 semester and each will be awarded $3100 towards payment for hours spent in the lab, as well as academic supplies. (As it is a local program, the stipend is not intended to be used towards housing.) The 2014 program spans fifteen weeks from January 27 to May 16.

The application deadline is Oct. 1 2013. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible!
