The
Child Health and Behavior Lab (HABLAB) at the University of Buffalo is looking
for undergraduate students to assist with research studies during Fall 2019
& Spring 2020. These research experiences would be under the leadership of
Dr. Stephanie Anzman-Frasca, who conducts laboratory- and community-based
studies in the area of children’s eating behavior and obesity prevention. More
information about Dr. Anzman-Frasca’s work is available here: https://medicine.buffalo.edu/faculty/profile.html?ubit=safrasca
Responsibilities
of student research assistants include: assisting with material
preparation, entering data, and helping staff in the implementation of the
study design. It is anticipated that students will have the opportunity to work
directly with study participants, including parents and children, in laboratory
and/or community studies. All incoming research assistants must be able to
commit to at least 10 hours of research per week, with preference given to
students who can commit to at least two semesters. Students may be asked to
commit to evenings or weekends to work with participants.
Interested
students can apply by submitting an application and a resume
to ubhablab@gmail.com, using
“Student research assistant application 2019” as the subject of the email.
Applications may be downloaded at http://ubhablab.weebly.com/students. We are reviewing applications on a rolling
basis, with our next round of interviews planned for late Spring 2019.
The Division of Behavioral Medicine
is looking for 6-8 highly motivated undergraduates to work as research
assistants in the Summer 2019 semester.
We have several exciting projects
that are looking for students to help with laboratory experiments and clinical
field studies. Projects include examining how low-active people can increase
their physical activity, working with adults to improve impulsivity, and
working with overweight adults in a clinical weight-control program.
We are looking for individuals with the
following qualifications: Organized and detail oriented, highly motivated,
independent, strong GPA, good communication skills, ability to interact with
families and the ability to solve problems independently. Students will be
asked to do a variety of tasks including prepping materials, recruiting adults
and families for studies, entering data (excel) and there is a possibility of
working with families to collect data.
To apply: please send your resume and the answers to the questions below to dbmstudentapply@gmail.com. Please make sure that Summer 2019 is in the subject line of the email. We are hoping to quickly fill our positions and will interview students on a first come, first served basis.
