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).
