Join the Lab

Prospective Undergraduate Research Assistants
Undergraduate student members of the Culture, Risk, and Resilience Lab gain hands on research experience as research assistants (RAs). RAs are highly responsible, self-determined, and oriented toward pursuing graduate study. As a member of the research team, RAs review key literature, facilitate data collection sessions, and manage data entry associated with cultural and psychological indicators of suicidality and self-harm.

Though two semesters of participation on the research team is strongly suggested, it is not required. RAs are expected to be available for research team meetings and for a minimum of 4 hours/week for meetings and data collection. All RAs are expected to have completed Psychology courses in Research Design and Research Analysis and may be eligible to enroll for Psych 4800 credit hours. Assigned credit hours are determined by hours of availability such that 3-4 hours of availability per week=1 credit, 6hrs=2 credits, and 9hrs=3credits. Applicants should complete this application and forward to Dr. Walker via email or print and return to Room 112 Psychology (confirm receipt of the printed application: georgiapsych@gmail.com).

Prospective Graduate Students
The Clinical Psychology program at UGA follows a clinical scientist model and is ideally suited for those who are passionate about and dedicated to research careers. Each fall, our program receives a high volume of competitive student applications for admission. This fall, I look forward to considering student applications for the 2012-2013 academic year. I deem the most impressive applicants as those who (1) have a demonstrated record of research experience that coincides with my ongoing program of research and (2) exceed the requirements set forth by the UGA Department of Psychology, its Clinical Program, and the UGA Graduate School.
