Research Opportunity with the Psychology Department

The Psych Department is looking for a student with an interest in CS and Psych to participate in undergraduate research. Interested students should be able to commit at least 6 hours per week for 3 quarters. You’d most likely register under PSYCH 499 (CR/NC).

We are looking for a student who is proficient with computers to help us with data analysis on a number of projects related to cancer and cognition. Most of our projects involve analyzing data from computer programs. We would like a student knowledgeable in computer programming to help us with this data analysis. Most of our tasks use E-Prime, so knowledge of E-Prime is preferred. In addition, qualified student would have knowledge of computer language and some experience in programming. Psych 209 is preferred, but not required. This is a great opportunity for a psychology student looking to get involved in the computerized aspects of psychology research. E-Prime is widely used in psychological research, so an understanding of this software would be extremely beneficial to the student. In addition, the student will become very knowledgeable about data analysis, especially analysis of data from computerized tasks. PLEASE NOTE: We work out of the Seattle VA and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Therefore, the student would be required to have reliable transportation to both of these campuses.
