Join the lab!

The Goodman Emotion and Resilience Lab motto is Come As You Are. Lab members, visitors, and research participants are invited to bring their authentic selves to our lab, regardless of identity, role in the lab, or scholastic status.

Research Assistants: We are always looking for hardworking, thoughtful, and responsible undergraduates or post-graduates to work in the lab as a volunteer research assistant (RA). RAs develop literature reviews, recruit participants, conducting participant interviews, develop Qualtrics surveys, code data for studies, among many other tasks. All RAs work with a graduate student mentor. Please complete our short application if you are interested in joining:
