Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Psychology, Fall 2008-2009

While most of the positions below are collected at the beginning of each semester, they do include new ones, marked with an asterisk (*) that are submitted during the semester. Unless otherwise indicated, positions are on a volunteer basis, previous experience is not required, and you should apply by contacting the researcher. You may be able to receive course credit (e.g., Psychology 910r) for work done in some of these positions; speak with your research supervisor about this option if you are interested. For additional descriptions of faculty research programs, click on each professor's link on the department faculty webpages.

Studies are listed below by title. Click each title for the complete study and position descriptions. The email address format ([recipient] at wjh dot harvard dot edu) thwarts spamming software which grabs email addresses from webpages. Fall 2008 listings are forthcoming through the next few weeks and added as they arrive - check back periodically.
