Undergraduate Research Positions – USC Health, Emotion & Addiction lab is looking for undergraduate research assistants.

May 13, 2013

Assistantships are available as part of a Directed Research Course or can be done on a volunteer basis.  Assistants work on studies examining the role of emotional factors that influence tobacco, alcohol and drug use, as well as other behaviors that impact health (e.g. exercise and diet). Undergraduate assistantships are a great way to gain initial exposure to research in preparation for medical school and graduate school in psychology, neuroscience and public health. 

We are currently looking for research assistants who are either fluent in Spanish or have a full day of availability in fall 2013.  To get a better understanding of our lab, please check out our website (http://heal.usc.edu). 

If you are interested, we’d appreciate if you could answer some questions by clicking on the following link (https://redcap.sc-ctsi.org/surveys/?s=uvh5oL). Please contact Bree Geary at bgeary@usc.edu for more information!

Grace Ford Salvatori Community Service Tuition Scholarships

March 25, 2013

The Salvatori Community Scholars program provides support to advanced graduate students who are doing community-based research whose experiences with community-based organizations can lead to new opportunities for service-learning students at USC.

Scholar(s) work with JEP’s Associate Director for Research and Academic Affairs, USC faculty, and one or more community organizations to develop service-learning projects for undergraduate USC students. Projects are to be jointly determined by the needs of the community, the academic goals of the service-learning course, and the abilities and interests of the Scholar, and might include participatory action research or direct service activities. All projects must involve undergraduate students in work that builds their knowledge and skills while supporting the Scholar in a community-centered project. Ideally, the service-learning project will closely correspond to the scholarly activities of the Salvatori Community Scholar.
