Undergraduate Research Opportunities in the GARD lab!

 

 

The Growth and Resilience Across Development (GARD) Lab at University in Maryland, College Park is recruiting undergraduate research assistants. The lab has two arms of study: (1) how environmental experiences shape adolescent cognitive, socioemotional, and brain development; (2) how biopsychosocial research studies can integrate community perspectives into study design, implementation, and dissemination. The lab has several active research studies and science communication efforts, which new undergraduate RAs will support. More information about the lab can be found on our website (https://gardlab.umd.edu/).
