The Social Skills, Imagination and Theater (SSIT) Lab in the
Applied Developmental Psychology Group at George Mason University is seeking motivated, reliable, and enthusiastic
summer research assistants who would like to gain experience with
research in social-emotional development and play. Research in the lab focuses on children's imagination and their social development.
Summer research responsibilities include participant recruitment, help
running studies both in the lab and in outdoor spaces, debriefing
parents, data entry, and video coding. Additionally, research assistants
will be involved in weekly lab meetings, an informal reading group, and
will gain hands-on experience working with data. Research assistants
will work closely with other team members and will be supervised by lab PI, Dr.
Goldstein. Stipends of approximately $1000 are available, and research
assistants are encouraged to seek additional funding through their home
universities. Academic credit may be available.
Research assistants are asked to commit either part time (20 hours
per week) or full time (40 hours per week) to research in the lab and
should be open to the possibility of testing outdoors and on weekends.
