The Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience of Psychopathology (CANoPy) lab has an ongoing EKG study on stress and anxiety. We appreciate prior research experience, but it is not required to apply! Highly qualified applicants can be considered for a more in-depth role in coordination of the study, while other roles involve data collection, interaction with participants, and quality control for collected data.
The current study uses computer tasks, EKG, respiration, actigraphy, and eye tracking to investigate different facets of anxiety during potentially stressful situations. New RAs would join our lively team of RAs to learn experimental protocols around working with participants and consistent, quality data collection.
We ask for a time commitment of around 8 hours per week, with the knowledge that needs will fluctuate from week to week. All positions have now been filled. We do not plan to recruit again until fall 2024.
