Hello! I am a clinical psychology graduate student, and I am looking for student volunteers interested in gaining experience in psychological research.
The research project is examining psychological outcomes in survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Tutsi Genocide. We will be analyzing interviews and genocide testimonies of the survivors and correlating them with depression, PTSD, and other psychological variables.
The student volunteers would help code transcripts of interviews and do data entry. Training would take approximately two hours, and then the volunteers may work independently on coding and meet with me briefly once a week to check progress. The time commitment would be approximately 5 to 7 hours per week, and would last until the end of the semester (or until the data is coded and entered).
This positions would be a great fit for psychology majors who would like to learn more about clinical psychology research (although this is not a requirement). The students must be extremely dependable, responsible, and committed. The position also requires a high degree of attention to detail.
If you are interested in learning more about the positions, please email me at laurenng@usc.edu.
